SHG Group: MEDITECH materials management migrated to Android handhelds
ScalaCode migrated MEDITECH materials management software for SHG Group from Windows-based handhelds to Android. The new app runs on Zebra devices and uses barcode scanning for storeroom management, inventory counts, supply distribution and patient charge reporting.
SHG Group
SHG Group runs MEDITECH materials management in hospital storerooms. Its handheld software ran on Windows devices, and the group needed a version that worked on Android with better barcode scanning.
What the move to Android had to solve
Compatibility with current Android devices
The software had to work reliably on modern Android handhelds after years on Windows hardware.
Barcode scanning built into every workflow
Storeroom, inventory and patient processes all depend on fast, accurate scans on the Zebra hardware.
Accurate charges and stock records
Patient charge reporting and materials handling had to stay accurate through the migration.
An Android app built for Zebra handhelds
A Java and Kotlin application designed around the way hospital storeroom teams work.
- 01
Storeroom management
Staff run storeroom processes such as department issues, returns and transfers from one menu.
- 02
Inventory counting
Counts are entered against scanned stock numbers, which cuts manual typing.
- 03
Supply distribution
Items issued to departments are recorded on the handheld as they move.
- 04
Patient charge reporting
Barcode scans link supplies to patient records for charge reporting.
- 05
Local and cloud data
SQLite gives fast on-device access to data, and AWS provides cloud integration.
Materials management running on Android
Hospital teams now run MEDITECH materials management on Zebra Android handhelds. Barcode scanning drives inventory counts and patient charge reporting, with less manual input than before.
