WaveMark awarded to streamline hospital performance

Thursday, December 17, 2009

Phoenix Health Care Management Services/VHA Georgia has awarded a contract to WaveMark for its clinical inventory management solution.

WaveMark Inc., a provider of real-time inventory management solutions for high value medical products, will use its WaveMark CIMS to assist hospital members and hospital networks to manage high value, specialty inventory to improve patient care, clinical workflow and financial outcomes.


WaveMark CIMS uses RFID cabinets and Point of Service readers to collect information that enable real-time inventory management, and ensure accuracy and timeliness of information captured. The streamlined workflow enables clinicians to spend more time on patient care and less time manually tracking inventory and product usage.

WaveMark’s solutions have already been successfully deployed in hospital specialty departments across the country. The goal is to help hospitals achieve optimized inventory levels, better management of product expirations and recalls, and improved charge capture. [end] 

The Basque National Health System has launched a neonatal security system designed to monitor and protect new-born infants using RFID technology.

When a pregnant woman is admitted to hospital, she is provided a tag with a unique identification which can be read in all the maternity zones. When the baby is born, an RFID tag specially designed for the new born is fitted to its ankle. The device monitors the infant 24 hours a day, detecting unauthorized movements, registering entries and exits to and from and enabling immediate location information.
