User Friendly Requesting System

At the hospital, Central Sterile Processing prepares instruments for the operating rooms to be used throughout the day.

Sometimes, additional or different instruments are needed, requiring nurses to call CSP, sometimes so much that the phone lines are completely tied up.

Need a better form of communicating and logging requests.
