INVENTORY MANAGEMENT APP

The system provides the added benefit of being able to automatically detect when an item is nearing its expiration date, so that the hospital can more easily ensure that inventory is not overlooked, thus reducing the likelihood of products expiring prior to use. There is great value in that since the hospital had to manually manage expiration dates prior to this installation

The solution has been in place for weeks now. Before the ReStock Tag was put in place, the supply room was overflowing with supplies. Now everything is neat, organized, and in the right quantities.

Snap&Go lets us see instrument use right away. We never tracked them before, and that’s why some instruments were breaking more often than others, because they weren’t being rotated properly. Snap&Go shows us what’s underused, overused, and what might be missing.

Visibility into inventory across an organization, backorder management with vendors, and managing product alternative options are the top three inventory management challenges. Incorporating IDENTI’s AI technology is the solution, especially in forward forecasting. We help solve complex supply disruptions, assess run rates, compare that to what is on hand across the system, and then create a contingency plan for an alternative product. Tasks that are repetitive, data-driven, or “actionable” take up valuable staff capacity. Many of these tasks can be automated, a solution needed for sustainability. Moreover, we need to make better use of the available data and information (like expiration). These are areas where automation/AI can open a door for solutions to address many of the needs in the current Canadian healthcare sector.

Since implementing IDENTI Medical solutions our hospital gained full, real-time visibility into inventory—replacing ad hoc, after-hours tracking by the IDE team with a proactive, digital system that gives us full control, helps us anticipate expirations, and drives measurable ROI
