• Maintain clear visibility into inventory levels at all AICs by monitoring NP-reported receipts, usage logs, and system updates.
• Partner with AIC staff to ensure accurate logging of drug receipts, usage, and returns to maintain data integrity.
• Support centralized reporting of inventory metrics, usage patterns, and refill needs.
• Prevent duplicative or off-account orders by reviewing system data and adhering to standardized purchasing workflows.
• Coordinate with Pharmacy and AIC teams to follow established processes for Buy and Bill and Clear Bag orders.
• Ensure appropriate documentation, compliance, and communication related to billing accuracy and reconciliation requirements.
• Serve as a key operational link for order verification, change notifications, and real-time status tracking associated with these workflows.
• Utilize the update instance of WeInfuse to access scheduling data, automate ordering workflows, and maintain real-time inventory insight.
• Use E-Order functionality within WeInfuse to eliminate duplicate entry between WeInfuse and ABC Order systems.
• Maintain accuracy of item master data, account assignments, and order routing within relevant platforms.
• Participate in system updates, training sessions, and feedback loops to enhance user adoption and workflow efficiency.
• Follow all centralized processes for purchasing, escalation, and new drug or supply requests.
• Ensure new medication items are routed through the P&T Committee and properly added to Caretend before purchase.
• Support maintenance and updates of the Procurement Grid, working collaboratively with the Inventory team and Director.
• Adhere to standardized terminology, data conventions, and process language established across Purchasing and Inventory teams.

 Communication, Collaboration & Culture-Building

• Communicate proactively with NPs, AIC managers, pharmacists, Trade partners, and Inventory leadership to ensure smooth operations.
• Reinforce the project's "common language," strategy, and the Why behind centralized inventory decisions.
• Participate in training, education sessions, and continuous improvement activities across the purchasing and inventory workstreams.
• Model a patient-centered approach to operational decision-making.
