How does the "supply process" work at Sutter Health?
This article lists the FAQs regarding the Sutter Supply project.
Q: What was the goal of Sutter Supply?
A: The goal was to control medical supplies and gain insights into usage similar to what Mira Prep provides for meds.
Q: Is "Sutter Supply" basically just using Mira Prep for supplies vs meds?
A: Yes, however, it has it's own tile on the IG Portal.
Q: How are they encoding the supplies and building their formularies?
A: They are tagging individual supply items (not whole boxes) and adding these items to trays which have pre-defined formularies like meds. Unlike meds, items cannot be imported - - they must all be added using the Custom Item feature.
Q: Are there special supply reports or workflows?
A: No, they use the same Reports and Workflows as Pharmacy Mira Prep clients.
Q: How does the Sutter Supply Team & the Sutter Pharmacy Team stay in sync?
A: This has been a stumbling block out of the gate, but as of the week of 1/19/2026, Leo will be reaching out to Sutter Supply and beginning to include them in the monthly Sutter Operations Meetings along with Tina Lee from Pharmacy.
Q: Will the next release containing code for the Central Distribution Centers (Wellstar, Inova and IU) address any of the issues on Sutter Supply's enhancement list?
A: Yes, Sutter will benefit from the UTC fix and the Facilities with AD Dropdown fix.
