What supplies does a new hospital need in month one?

From day one a new hospital uses wound care (dressings, gauze, tape), catheters and cannulae, PPE (gloves, masks, gowns) and minor instruments. These are used before any money is collected, so size the opening order against how much you expect to use per occupied bed, not against full occupancy. Send an opening list, or your consultant's specification, and we return a written price within 48 hours.

When should we choose a hospital information system?

Before the doors open, not after. The registrations a hospital information system depends on, such as ABDM and a DLT sender ID, are in the hospital's own name and take time to come through. Starting them late is what delays an opening. Choosing the system while the building work is still going on lets those registrations run at the same time.

Can we set up supply and the system at the same time?

Yes, and a new hospital is the one place where that makes sense. There is no existing supplier to keep and no old system to move away from, so supply and Jazline360 can be set up as one decision, with one record from the first purchase order onward. They are still sold separately, so you can also take just one.

We already have a project consultant. Does that matter?

It helps. Your consultant plans the building, the licences and the big equipment, which we do not do. We work alongside them: send us their specification and we quote against it line for line. Your relationship with them stays yours.

Starting a Hospital in India

The part the project consultant does not cover: what a new hospital actually uses in its first month, and how to set up your medical supplies and the software that runs the hospital at the same time, instead of eighteen months apart.

Month One

What gets used before anything gets collected. This is the part that starts after the project consultant hands over the finished building, and it is where new hospitals are most often caught out.

Consumables are used before any money comes in.: Wound care, cannulae, PPE and instruments are used from the first day, while the money the hospital collects comes in months later. Size the opening order against how much you expect to use per occupied bed, not against a guess that every bed is full from day one.
The stores function has to exist before the doors open.: Somebody has to receive, count, issue and reorder stock. Without a named person for this, orders are erratic, nothing matches, and the first time you run out of something it reaches a doctor in week three rather than month six.
Registrations take longer than the building work.: Several registrations are in the hospital’s own name and none of them is instant: ABDM (the national health data network), a DLT sender ID (the registration Indian networks need before they will deliver your SMS), a payment merchant account (so you can take card and UPI payments), the clinical establishment registration that every hospital must hold, the drug licence for the pharmacy, biomedical waste authorisation (permission to dispose of medical waste) and the fire-safety clearance, or NOC. Starting these late is what delays an opening, not the software.
Your reorder points are guesses until they are not.: A reorder point is the stock level at which you order more. For the first three months you have no usage history to set them against. Plan to reset every reorder point at ninety days, and treat the opening numbers as a starting position, not a plan.

How much a hospital uses varies a lot by its mix of specialities, so any figure quoted per bed is an estimate, not a number to budget against. What does not vary is the list of families a new hospital uses from day one:

Supply and System, at the Same Moment

Two purchases that are usually made eighteen months apart are one decision for a hospital that has not opened yet.

Most people buy these separately.: A supply chain first, then a system, eighteen months apart, and then two years spent matching what the stores did against what the accounts say.
There is a version where you decide once.: One contract, one set of decisions, and one record from the first purchase order onward.
No supplier to replace.: A new hospital has no existing supplier relationship to defend and no old system to move away from. It is the one moment when changing nothing is not the safer option.

The Hospital Setup Map

One page. What a hospital of your bed count uses in its first month, and what has to be in place, registrations included, before the doors open. Written for the gap the project consultants stop covering, which is everything after handover.

Not published yet. Leave an email and we send it the day it is ready. No sales sequence is attached. This is not a quote request and is not treated as one.

Working with Your Project Consultant

If you have a commissioning consultant, the firm that plans and sets up the hospital before it opens, they arrived a year before us and are already planning your equipment and vendor list. That is a good thing.

We work alongside them, not around them. Send us their specification and we quote against it directly, line for line, with no attempt to redesign a plan someone more qualified has already made. Your relationship with them stays yours.

If you are the consultant, read this instead

What We Do Not Claim to Do

Licensing, feasibility studies (checking whether the project is viable), government approvals, building design and the choice of big medical equipment. Established consultants do all of that, they publish good material on it, and pretending otherwise would not survive one conversation.

You Probably Need Both

This is the one page where that is true. A hospital that has not opened yet has no existing supplier to protect and no system to move away from.
