Description:

Standardized labels recently mandated by the UDI Rule are an important step but will not provide health care cost savings and improved patient safety on their own. Furthermore, EHRs and MMIS systems do not provide the functionality necessary to meet these objectives. Hospitals need a tool to leverage the use of UDI within their health care organizations to empower the Cost, Quality, Outcomes (CQO) Movement.

This webinar explains the many benefits the UDI system can bring both to a hospital’s bottom line and to patients. With proper tools implemented by healthcare providers, UDI will help to lower cost and increase quality, thereby improving patient outcomes.

 

Learning Objectives:
  • Achieve UDI benefits by bridging the gap between MMIS & EHR.
  • Improve quality assurance of rep delivered medical devices.
  • Automate recall investigations and improve patient safety.
  • Gain visibility into medical device usage and associated costs in order to make informed decisions.
