Back in the late 1990s Bloomington Hospital in an attempt to better serve the needs of their community decided to expand and renovate their hospital. Through an exhaustive selection process they chose OfficeWorks to provide furniture for their waiting areas, office furniture, break rooms and conference rooms. The determining factors were not solely based on cost. A good working relationship based on responsiveness, quality of work preformed, experience with hospital’s special needs and warranty were also taken into consideration. OfficeWorks ability to design and provide product solutions for clinical spaces helped lead to one of the first fully automated labs in the state as well as providing supporting work stations and storage for their highly automated pharmacy. OfficeWorks helped with a unique solution for managing supplies for floor stock and recently provided a way to manage supplies in the Emergency Department. The intent was to decrease to amount of supplies by making it easier to find and determine actually turnover of these products. Simply be creating as close to identical storage spaces on each floor or, in the case of emergency department, each drawer in each room would visually allow for better control of inventory.
