Medline is enhancing its supply chain optimization (SCO) portfolio through a new partnership with Identi Medical. A global leader in point-of-use data sensing solutions, Identi Medical designs, develops, and produces advanced data collection solutions for surgery, procedure, and clean supply room settings.
Identi’s SNAP & GO image recognition technology maximizes efficiencies in ORs and procedure rooms, while increasing patient safety by digitally recording product information and usage at the point of use. Complete unique device identification tracking is recorded directly into the patient’s electronic file, saving time for clinical staff and achieving full data and charge capture in seconds.
In addition, Identi recently launched the first-of-its-kind in the U.S. wireless, weight-based, and self-requisition PAR bin. The bin’s wireless feature marks the next generation of PAR supplies management, as the bin is completely wireless and can be placed wherever most needed.
“As prime vendor and preferred supplier to top healthcare systems and providers around the U.S., Medline provides the resources, distribution programs, and access to technology to enable end-to-end inventory models of visibility—from distribution centers to point-of-use,” says John Ramirez, Medline senior director of supply chain. “Identi’s global success, expertise, and technology will go a long way in helping us deliver impactful supply chain solutions in the healthcare industry.”
Identi also offers clinician-friendly solutions for tissue and implant tracking, medical supplies replenishment, and management systems for controlled substances and narcotics—increasing patient safety and improving business processes.
“At our core, we apply state-of-the-art technology, including AI, machine learning, RFID, and image recognition technology to help providers achieve more control over their medical inventory and improve patient outcomes,” says Shlomo Matityaho, chief executive officer of Identi, “And, we’re thrilled to have an agile and forward-thinking partner in Medline, whose commitment to bring forward to its customers the top healthcare tech and resources in the world is clearly driving Medline’s remarkable growth.”
