Gain a finite understanding of current, available, and useable returnable containers in the fleet and within each loop
Management of Controlled Substances and high-value surgical assets is challenging in today’s dynamic environment. While there are reasonable controls for your pharmacy, the problem expands when this class of drugs leaves the pharmacy and goes to the OR, procedural areas, and even outside the building to free-standing surgery centers. There are so many points for a potential diversion that it becomes impossible to manage and control. In addition, the current bar code options available for the OR and procedural areas don’t work.
Improper medical supply chain leads to serious inefficiencies for the hospitals, some of which can be addressed through asset traceability:
When combined with new traceability and data analytics offered by SmartX HUB, data from visibility technologies such as RFID or barcodes can alleviate hospitals' pain points, enabling highly efficient business processes and reduced drug management costs.
Our RFID solution is the best technology in the market to manage controlled substances & surgical assets and mitigate the chance of diversion. Only RFID can provide track and trace along with a chain of custody to provide real accountability. Placing our Procedural Stations in the areas where these medications and assets are dispensed and used will change the way you manage controlled substances while significantly improving the workflow and inventory and tray management.
While doctors and caregivers are at the front lines of dealing with emergencies, much of the planning and preparation starts with the pharmacy. Pharmacy teams are responsible for ensuring that critical medication is available when and where needed, safe, and valid (i.e., not expired or recalled.) Box and trays preparedness plays an essential role in emergency preparedness and is markedly improved with the addition of innovative RFID healthcare technology.
Any delay in providing critical care to patients can create a safety risk. Innovations in RFID healthcare technology can help the pharmacy team ensure that boxes and trays are complete and reliable, improving patient safety and reducing risk.
The following video illustrates this shared, increased accuracy and efficiency of the shipping process.
Using our Insights analytics platform will provide never seen data to manage workflows, replenishment, and even compare drug usage by Doctors and cases. Reliable data you can trust to make sound business decisions and gain trace, track, and accountability never before experienced in the OR/procedural areas.
Smartx HUB Platform reduces the shipment error rate because each item is given an RFID tag at the warehouse, and the contents of every kit or tray are read and verified before it is shipped to OR or the internal warehouse.
SmartX HUB’s RFID solution significantly improves store inventory management processes, reducing out of stocks and allowing caregivers to spend less time taking inventory and more time providing customer service. Improved inventory visibility from item-level tagging also enables the efficient return of recalled items, meaning less time those items are on shelves.
This report lists the event history of an asset. Use this report to determine when and where an asset was last observed or identify problems such as missing events, duplicate events, or cross events.
The solution provides insights, improving the company’s ability to forecast item demand for products and allowing it to replenish inventories more efficiently as needed.
Instead of manually scanning hundreds of barcoded items, the SmartX HUB solution validates kit contents all at once, saves time, increases accuracy, and frees up human labor for better tasks.
The solution allows faster replenishment of used kits, father rotation of kits within the warehouse, and a faster-invoicing process— while eliminating discrepancies.
SmartX HUB RFID provides inventory data that can be accessed online through appropriate security. Access control systems can also log who completed inventory for accuracy and accountability.
The SmartX HUB RFID-enabled solution tracks high-value products used in surgery, ensuring hospital inventory counts of high-value surgical items and supplies are always up to date.
SmartX HUB's medical suppliers tracking is part of SmartX's Solution for Track & Trace and also leverages IoT-RFID and Cloud platforms for data capture. Smartx hub's Solution for Track & Trace advances its past success in traceability technology by enabling multiple business use cases through applications and business intelligence.
Following the implementation of the RFID solution, the hospital sees more accurate inventory record-keeping. Without the risk of manual errors, hospital staff can be assured that inventory will be kept at sufficient levels to provide high-quality healthcare to its patients.
SmartX HUB's global presence, coupled with its deep industry and business transformation expertise, has proven that the methodologies and experience gained from thousands of worldwide engagements help hospitals achieve tangible business results and innovation quickly and cost-effectively.
