Greetings to the List-serve,
I have a question that I have posted on the OPIE-L list-serve but have only received two responses. Here is my question for those that use OPIE but may not be on the OPIE list-serve; I am trying to find the best way to track loaners and warranty component shipments. If we have a patient come in that is having problems with a knee unit (or any component that the manufacture offers loaner units) and needs a loaner knee or foot while their unit is being repaired under warranty (or not), how do you track the loaner knee/foot and the one being repaired? Currently I open up a C-fab tracking to order a loaner unit and put details in the C-fab tracking note section. I also create a C-fab tracking for the unit going out so I can track via PO#s the loaner and the warranty repair. This doesn't seem very efficient, how is everyone else doing this? Keeping track of new serial #s (some manufacturers don't send back the patient's unit they send a re-manufactured one that has a different serial #) can be a challenge unless you record the component in the transfemoral or transtibial component form.
Looking for the best way to handle these common situations.
Thanks in advance,
Rick Stapleton, CPO
