Ensuring adequate stocks of wound care supplies at wound care facilities can be a daunting task: too much stock causes capital to be tied up, and too little can cause problems for patients. Most facilities maintain a “par” level for each item, which requires that supplies be ordered even if the “par” is numerically short by one item. In addition, due to the current just-in-time environment, if attention is not paid to the par level, unexpected shortages of supplies can develop.
