Champion Medical Technologies Partners with Jump Technologies to Improve the Management of Medical Supplies and Implantable Devices

Jump Technologies, Inc. and Champion Medical Technologies announced a partnership to help health systems improve tracking and control of supplies, implantable devices and tissue throughout their organizations.
According to the press release:

Today, however, there remain two significant problems in the areas of supply and device management:

• With little visibility, supplies and devices can be lost, sit on shelves and expire, or are otherwise wasted, costing hospitals millions of dollars each year.
• Hospitals are burdened with limited functionality offered by legacy technology, including Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) or materials systems and Electronic Health Records (EHR). Often these systems have limited capabilities in tracking data elements such as Unique Device Identification (UDI) and Global Trade Identification Number (GTINs); efficiently leveraging mobile technology; and in managing device and tissue recalls.

Peter Casady, CEO, Champion Medical Technologies commented:

Champion is delivering new tools to help hospitals with automated tissue and implant management, empowering care givers with the information they need to drive down operating costs, improve regulatory compliance and increase patient safety and overall care. Our partnership with JumpTech will help deliver a more comprehensive solution for hospital executives who need better visibility to what’s really being used, where and at what rate. Combined, we can deliver essential information for better supply planning and cost management.
