00:28 Data documented: Look at the screen to see the full item data that has been collected.
WHY IS SURGICAL SUPPLY DOCUMENTATION SO DIFFICULT?
Three main issues that prevent the routine documentation of the products used in surgery:
1. TIME: Perioperative nurses need to juggle supply chain tasks with patient care, so if the process of documenting an item isn’t easy, it may not get done at all.
2. TOOLS: POU product documentation tools routinely struggle to capture all the required data and may also fail to recognize items. Products that aren’t simple and easy to record during the surgery risk not being documented at all.
3. TYPES: The different types of products used OR and procedural areas are a mix of owned stock, consignment inventory, and bill-only products (trunk stock). Non-stock items may not be preloaded into the system, may not be associated with a purchase requisition, and may not be listed correctly, or at all, in the hospital item master.
WHY IS POOR QUALITY PRODUCT CONSUMPTION DATA A MANAGEMENT ISSUE?
Poor quality consumption data has operational and management implications:
SUPPLY CHAIN: The materials management team end up basing procurement decisions on partial data and best guesses. They do not have an accurate view of stock or demand.
COST SAVINGS: Inaccurate consumption data results in surpluses and wastage. Lack of data weakens contractual negotiations and prevents cost reduction activities like tackling PPI variation and improving product standardization.
PATIENT SAFETY: Patient safety is safeguarded by accurate medical records Consumption data is vital clinical information that needs to be easily referenced to support ongoing patient care and to handle any future product recall.
MANAGEMENT: Inaccurate and incomplete consumption data means that leadership cannot calculate accurate cost per case data that is vital for planning provision, procurement and financial forecasting.
GETTING POINT OF USE DATA COLLECTION RIGHT - WITHOUT THE FUSS
Snap&Go a first-of-its-kind custom-fit data collection tool for the point of use. It uses image recognition technology, backed up by an AI system. Here's what it achieves:
o EVERY reportable, billable item used in surgery is captured whether it’s a stock item, consignment inventory, a bill-only product, or a small consumable without a barcode.
o FULL DATA is captured - UDI, batch number, lot, expiry date - no need to fix anything or add missing data.
o AUTOMATED item identification is via a globally populated SKU database which acts like your virtual item master. There’s even a human back-office as a final safety net.
o DOCUMENTATION is seamless - all consumption data feeds straight into your EMR, ERP, and MMIS systems.
o DATA in the form of real-time metrics, reports and analytics are produced for healthcare business intelligence.
