Central Supply
Supplies are stored on each unit in a visual inventory control system storage cabinet, which is called a Kanban. The system is operated by logging into the EPIC charge section and scanning items on the “pink” shelves to charge them to the patient. Items on all other shelves may be used as needed without charging to the patient. Once the last item in a bucket is used, the bucket should be placed on the top of the cabinet for central supply to restock.

SharePoint
SharePoint is the intranet for Baptist Health Systems. It is available through an icon on each in-house computer. Most policies and procedures are available on SharePoint and many other resources also. We encourage Faculty/Students to access SharePoint for information and guidance.
The most up to date Nursing Policies and Procedures are available on the left side of the page by clicking MBMC Policies and Procedures.
Some clinical policies that affect more areas than nursing may also be found on the left side of the page under Policies, Procedures & Guidelines - Corporate. For example, blood administration and the restraint policies.
The materials are printable; however they remain property of Mississippi Baptist Medical Center and are for reference only.
