Beyond the Scanner: Mastering Annual Inventory in Critical Access
What if you could improve inventory accuracy without scanners, fancy tech, or extra staff—just smart cycle counts and creative teamwork? On this Season 16 finale of Power Supply, we’re joined by Kimberly Alexander, Director of Materials and Purchasing at Huggins Hospital, for a look at how critical access hospitals can master annual inventory with limited resources. From managing unlocked storerooms on the honor system to coordinating manual cycle counts with lean teams and spreadsheets, Kimberly shows how limited resources don’t have to mean limited results. She also addresses the unique challenges of critical access: weekend coverage gaps, seasonal demand swings, and wearing multiple hats across purchasing, receiving, and delivery. Whether you’re preparing for annual inventory in your critical access hospital or wondering how to do more with less, this conversation delivers real lessons from someone making it work!
