Travis Meredith: Running a practice today is more
complicated than ever. We have more regulations, more rules,
more things that we need to follow to remain in compliance.
There's no secret, our staff is busier than ever, we don't have
the time to do all the things that we need to every day. And
maintaining a safety data sheet binder... It's important, it's
very important. But it's not the most important thing that my
staff can do every day, they need to take care of patients
first. So, we use a service that does that for us. The DV Metrics
Safety Data Sheet service actually takes our purchases
from all of our distributors and combines them into one single
digital document. And then once a month, we actually receive an
email that includes all of the updates, all of the new
products, anything that may be updated to that point. The old
way of doing this was to actually have an employee go
locate the Safety Data Sheet on their own. They would research
it online, they would download it, they would print it, then
hole punch it and then put it in the binder. The problem with
that is that any time a safety data sheet would be updated,
we'd have no way of knowing. And so as soon as our binder was up
to date, more than likely there were errors. This digital binder
is consistently updated. It includes all the products that
we've purchased over the past 24 months. It's configurable, which
means we can add products into it. So, when we go to the
grocery store, and we purchase Clorox, when we purchase Lysol,
we can add that in. Our safety data sheet binder lives in our
own unique portal on the DV Metrics website. So, the great
thing about this is if you ever did need to access an SDS
Binder, it's a web link, which means we can access it from a
computer in the hospital, you can access it from a tablet,
from a phone, any time you need it. It easily converts to a PDF,
I can even send it to somebody if I need to. It has the most
up-to-date binder we could possibly have and remaining
compliant with the least amount of effort to actually do so. For
basically the cost of what it is to hold a staff lunch, we can
actually maintain our regulatory compliance when it comes to SDS
binders for the entire year. It's a no brainer. It's easy for
us, and it's one less headache that my staff has to manage. The
DV Metrics Safety Data Sheet Autobinder solves an important
headache for our practice. It allows us to maintain regulatory
compliance when it comes to safety data sheets, but in a
very easy, affordable way that we don't have to worry about
