Abstract
Many health service provider organizations have a General Inventory for their facilities kept by Stores personnel. This covers everything found in each department (including such items as furniture, plastic and glassware, waste bins, notice boards, wall clocks). A record of the contents of each room is kept on a card (often found on the back of the door), and a paper copy is held in the Stores. Items are often painted with their Stores code number.
However, the details contained within this General Inventory are generally insufficient to enable equipment or maintenance plans to be made. Also, the data is not easily updated or manipulated on a computer. For this reason, a separate record is required, which is known as the Equipment Inventory. This covers technical details and is restricted to items of equipment – in other words, those items which require maintenance throughout their lives.
