Delivery & service coordination · Durable medical equipment
Every delivery and service call, closed without dispatch.
A hospital bed sits on the dock while the dispatcher plays phone tag for a delivery window. Proof of delivery never reaches billing.
The reality
DME delivery is a dispatch problem.
Orders land from referral sources, the bed or oxygen concentrator is in stock, but nothing moves until someone reaches the patient, holds a delivery window, routes the driver, and confirms setup. Returns and PM calls slip because the same person is buried in the same calls.
The operator owns the work order from the moment it opens. It schedules the route, confirms the window with the patient by text and call, captures signed proof of delivery and setup, then closes the order in Brightree — and books the return or maintenance call on the same thread.
