What do providers think of IDENTI’s RFID smart cabinet solutions?
We get feedback from a recent installation of our TotalSense system.
IDENTI, a leading provider of RFID smart cabinet solutions and high-value inventory management systems, reports a successful installation of its Smart Cabinet solution at the Herzilya Medical Center (HMC) cath lab.
Impact of smart cabinet technology
The RFID Smart Cabinet provides the hospital with enhanced, precise, real-time inventory management capabilities, allowing staff to have an accurate view of inventory levels and usage.
The RFID smart cabinets produce accurate inventory records in real time, and therefore, reduce inventory waste, eliminate manual counting and stock-outs, and reduce management costs.
“We are extremely pleased with IDENTI’s Smart Cabinet solution, already installed in our hospital for nearly two years,” said Doron Karmi, Chief Technology of Operations Officer at HMC. “The problem originated while producing our annual reports, as we were consumed by destructive and expensive disputes with our inventory suppliers, which our luxurious private hospital simply couldn’t afford. Each side couldn’t be sure how much stock was consumed during the past year as our manual system was exposed to paperwork mistakes, shelving problems, expired products and other human errors. Once the Smart Cabinet entered the Cath-labs, all of these difficulties were completely eliminated right from the first month. Given these positive results,” Continued Karmi “we are currently considering having the Smart Cabinet placed in other facilities including the eye-clinics and operating rooms.”
Smart Cabinet is a lean, efficient inventory management system for medical devices. Utilizing patent-protected RFID technology in combination with point-of-use reporting, the Smart Cabinet gives hospitals such as HMC, a precise, real-time inventory management at the item level. The company’s advanced cloud-based software provides the entire supply chain an accurate view of inventory levels, usage, and status of high –value medical devices.
“I am very pleased to have made such a valuable impact on HMC,” said Shlomo Matityaho, IDENTI’s CEO. “Our solutions, built with our customer’s challenges in mind, are completely automated, leaving no room for arguments or disputes. In addition, we recognize the fact that an Operating Room, Cath-Lab, or any other hospital space is a busy environment, and our task is to ensure that staff are concentrating on patient care, not paperwork or asset management. HMC is the perfect model demonstrating the type of impact our solutions can have, and I look forward to continuing assisting other healthcare facilities around the world.”
