UDI Management

Using AI to deliver full UDI data capture at the point of care

Let AI vision enhance your EHR records with UDI tracking for full compliance and accuracy.

Precision UDI tracking delivers implant transparency and traceability.
Yet all too often technology fails to fully monitor this high value inventory, leading to inefficient inventory management, and putting both UDI compliance and patients at risk.

In today’s digital era, capturing UDI at the point of care demands an Automatic Identification Data Capture (AIDC) tool. However, many hospitals still rely on traditional systems that struggle to handle the complex variety of medical inventory, particularly the surgical items flowing through operating rooms and procedural rooms.

Capturing and recording the UDI data of every high-value item consumed in surgery is a difficult task. Common UDI management and data capture challenges include barcode readability issues, the collection of partial data only, dynamic coding changes to the GTIN resulting in item master mismatches and failed scans, bill-only, off-contract and substitute items that aren’t ‘in the system,’ and lengthy manual workarounds with a high risk of UDI data errors and omissions. Traditional tech has failed, and providers are looking towards next-generation technology for a better UDI management solution. New image recognition, AI, and machine learning technology have finally cracked UDI documentation, enabling 100% reporting and full UDI capture, sent straight to the EHR, ERP, and MMIS.

Documentation audit?

Be UDI compliant in a single “Snap”!

Next-Gen data capture: Snap&Go uses image recognition and AI technology to seamlessly capture full product information at the point of use, including SKU, batch number, serial/lot, expiry date and more.

30-40% reduction in Peri-Op admin: Nurses simply place the item under the computer vision sensor, wait for the green light to flash (in just 3 seconds) and can then rest assured that full UDI details will be electrically recorded in the electronic health record.

Automated item validation: Access to a globally-populated SKU database ensures every item is verified, whether its listed in your local item master or not.

Auto corrections: AI technology and machine learning algorithms support data-fixing and gap-filling, so that every item has a correct, standardized UDI entry.

When you use the right technology, UDI management is seamlessly incorporated into perioperative workflows and is a fully automated process.

IDENTIs automated UDI management technology ensures full regulatory and audit compliance.

The hospital has reduced the cost of excess inventory by between $2-3 Million. First, we moved to full, pay-per-use consignment. Second, we do not need to deal with the inventory levels, each vendor is managing his inventory by himself remotely.

The top inventory challenges facing providers in 2024 include managing inventory with fewer staff and maintaining adequate stock levels, while preventing surpluses. Other challenges include improving expiry management and reducing waste. Some of these challenges can be soved by using AI and machine learning technology, which can be used to help control costs, including those related to expired products. I see that a lack of confidence from staff leads to hoarding, in order to prevent “stat” deliveries due to stockouts. Automated solutions really can save time and money, as well as play a role in staff retention. ‘Snap&Go’ reduces the burden on the perioperative team by providing 100% accuracy and reducing future liability, while saving the operating nurse a lot of time.
