An automated inventory system typically consists of the following components:
1. Database Management: A centralized database that stores information about all inventory items. 2. Barcoding/RFID: Use of barcodes or RFID tags to track items as they are added or removed from the inventory. 3. Software Interface: A user-friendly interface for nurses and other staff to interact with the system. 4. Alerts and Notifications: Automated alerts for low stock levels, expiration dates, and reorder points.
