🔔 The latest report from the American Hospital Association highlights a growing reality:
▸ Labor accounts for ~60% of hospital expenses
▸ Workforce costs rose ~5.6% in 2025
▸ Demand is increasing as patients become older and sicker
At the same time, workforce shortages persist—meaning hospitals are asking more of already stretched teams.
One of the most overlooked opportunities?
➡️ Reducing time spent on manual inventory tasks
With VueStat, your teams spend dramatically less time spent on:
- Reordering and put-away
- Searching for supplies
- Printing, relabeling, and affixing labels
- Workflow disruptions due to missing items or wrong orders
- Handling returns due to wrong orders
- Manual inventory checks and bin scanning
- Traveling between sites to manage inventory
👉 The result: less manual work, more time for higher-value activities like caring for patients—and reduced strain on staff.
In today’s environment, addressing labor isn’t just about adding resources. It’s about removing friction from the work itself.
VueStat is not just improving inventory management—it is:
- Reducing labor burden
- Improving clinician experience
- Optimizing supply utilization
- Creating a scalable, data-driven supply chain model
