Is this the scene you envision when non-biologic implants arrive at your facility? You're manually entering dozens, perhaps hundreds of items into the hospital's system—each with its own unique identifiers like lot number, serial number, and expiration date—which requires careful attention. These steps are labor-intensive, prone to errors, and consume time and effort that could be better spent on patient care.
But it doesn’t end there. The process requires additional manual effort to verify, track, inventory, and reconcile these items. The volume and repetition of these tasks have discouraged many healthcare organizations from exploring more efficient methods. While more efficient tracking would provide considerable benefits, the sheer amount of effort to implement an implant management program for non-biologics far outweighs those benefits. Or is that just an outdated perception?
Gone are the days when managing implants was a dreaded, effort-intensive process. InVita’s innovations make managing non-biologic implants as straightforward as managing tissue, turning a once burdensome process into a streamlined, efficient operation.
When an implant shipment arrives or a manufacturer representative shows up with a multitude of implant options before surgery, it is no longer necessary to perform a cascade of manual tasks. InVita’s QuickReceipt functionality is a testament to this new efficiency. The integration of device manufacturers enables vendors to electronically transmit shipment information. A simple scan of the supplier’s ready-to-read GS1 Barcode is now all it takes to capture implant details accurately such as the model number, size, batch, lot number, and expiration dates. This data is auto populated into InVita’s software, eliminating the need for custom labels and repetitive data entry, saving 70-90% of the time typically spent on receiving, tracking, inventorying, and reconciling products.
InVita’s software integrations and innovations have changed the way healthcare organizations manage non-biologic implants. By integrating critical interfaces, innovative features, and functionality into one cohesive platform, it automates tasks, provides continuous data exchange, and has built-in safeguards that minimize errors, delays, and unnecessary workloads.
By adopting an integrated tissue and implant management program, hospitals can handle large volumes of implant items entering their facilities—whether delivered by device representatives at time of surgery or shipped in bulk—with ease and accuracy.
Over 700 hospitals utilize InVita’s solutions for managing tissue. Most have already expanded their scope to include non-biologic implants to capitalize on the significant benefits and savings.
