Beyond RFID:Many workflows, one platform
HIMSS
Pre-conference Symposium
February 23, 2014
Conflict of Interest Disclosure Carola Endicott, VP, Cardinal Health
Has no real or apparent
conflicts of interest to report.
Learning Objectives
• Describe the current state• Describe data capture workflows for inventory• Illustrate how multiple data capture methods can
be integrated into one platform
Current State
• Two Extremes– Lots of different systems matching workflows
but no centralized platform– One legacy system designed for one workflow
but used for everything
Specialty area inventory system
Central stores inventory

A patchwork approach has downsides
• Greater cost implications for multiple systems
• Significant time/labor investments
• Imperfect system integration and lack of visibility
• No single repository for inventory data and analytics
• Clinicians in each area use different workflows

Inventory management current state 2:One Workflow for all Products
One workflow also has downsides
• Manual workarounds by staff
• Inaccurate, incomplete inventory information
• Higher investment in people to make up for system deficiencies
• Generally, only SKU level data is available for analysis
• Interferes with clinician focus on patients

like gauzeand bandages
Low-cost suppliesthat require
each-level tracking
Surgical packs andother mid- to
high-cost supplies
High-costphysician preference items

Match the workflow to the inventory
Ultimate workflow: Usage capture close to the patient
Capture usage, regardless of how the product is tracked
Many workflows feeding one platform
• Satisfied clinicians• Accurate data• Better decision-making• Achieve cost savings
Beyond Inventory Management and intoSupply Chain Management
Hospital/healthcare provider
Patient and procedure

Beyond RFID:From Inventory Management to Supply Chain Management
• RFID provides control and visibility for high value supplies
• RFID can be leveraged beyond the inventory space and into the supply chain space
• The market is maturing and understanding the value of optimal workflows
