UMass has selected WaveMark CIMS to manage the flow of items such as cardiac stints, balloons, catheters guide wires, pacers, and coils. WaveMark provided UMass with RFID enabled cabinets, to store and track, the disposition of supplies in the cath, IR and EP labs. At the same time, RFID readers will improve charge capture of billable supplies and clinical documentation. These tools will allow UMass to achieve optimal inventory levels and product mix, reducing wasted product, optimizing buy orders and manual processes.
Kathy Green, senior director of radiology services and cardiovascular diagnostic & interventional services, said: We have well managed labs, yet our inventory control was a manual process. I was looking for a solution that would automate what was currently being done manually, in order to be more efficient, more accurate and make better decisions regarding inventory levels, usage patterns, and managing consignment stock. Increasing revenue by improving charge capture rates was also an important consideration. WaveMark’s inventory solution provides our Labs with the automation and decision support tools we need.
