Expiry Management

Expired supplies flagged before they're used.

Every consumable batch is tracked with its expiry date from receipt. ZenoHosp alerts store managers 90 and 30 days before expiry. FEFO rotation ensures shorter-expiry items are issued before longer-expiry ones. Wastage drops within the first quarter.

  • Expiry alerts at 90 days, 30 days, and at expiry
  • FEFO issuance — shortest expiry issued first
  • Near-expiry stock identified for supplier return or priority use
  • Expired items quarantined — removed from issuance queue
  • Wastage report: quantity and value disposed per period

Value and quantity disposed — per item, per period.

Every batch tracked from receipt to expiry.

When goods are received, the batch number and expiry date are captured. ZenoHosp monitors every batch and generates alerts before items expire. The store manager sees a prioritised list of near-expiry items — sorted by urgency.

  • Batch number and expiry date captured at goods receipt
  • 90-day and 30-day alerts generated automatically
  • Dashboard shows near-expiry items sorted by urgency
  • Expired items removed from issuance queue on expiry date

Shortest expiry issued first. Without manual checking by store staff.

When a department requests items from the store, ZenoHosp automatically issues the batch with the shortest expiry first. Store staff don't need to manually check dates or sort shelves — the system ensures FEFO compliance on every issuance.

  • Shortest expiry batch selected automatically for every issuance
  • Manual override available with documented reason
  • FEFO report available — all issuances confirmed as FEFO-compliant
  • Reduces near-expiry items reaching the ward as unused stock

Act before expiry — not after.

Near-expiry stock can be returned to the supplier, issued on priority to departments with high consumption, or scheduled for disposal. Each action is documented. Monthly wastage reports show the value of disposed items — and whether the trend is improving.

  • Supplier return note generated for near-expiry returns
  • Priority issuance: near-expiry batches issued before longer-expiry ones
  • Disposal documentation with authoriser sign-off
  • Monthly wastage value report for management

"We had a ward reporting an expired IV set that had been used on a patient. Since ZenoHosp, expired items are quarantined automatically. That type of incident is impossible now."

Frequently asked questions

How does ZenoHosp prevent expired items from being issued to wards?

On the expiry date, ZenoHosp automatically removes expired batches from the issuance queue. Store staff cannot select an expired batch for issuance. An override requires a documented reason and supervisor approval.

How does FEFO issuance work for consumables?

When a department requests items, ZenoHosp automatically selects the batch with the shortest expiry date. Store staff confirm the issuance — the FEFO selection is made by the system.

Can near-expiry stock be returned to the supplier?

Yes. ZenoHosp generates a supplier return note for near-expiry items. The return is documented against the original purchase order and the batch.
