Mobile Aspects, a leader in RFID enabled clinical process improvement systems, recently announced that Novation, the health care contracting services company for VHA Inc., the University HealthSystem Consortium (UHC), and Provista, has awarded Mobile Aspects a three-year contract to supply radio frequency identification (RFID) inventory management systems to its member organizations.
The contract covers several of Mobile Aspects leading-edge solutions including the iRISupply® supply automation system and the iRISecure™ tissue tracking technology. For clinicians in surgical specialty settings, the systems create a simple yet highly automated workflow to track and manage surgical inventory by leveraging the unique capabilities of RFID technology. In turn, tangible operational benefits are realized in areas such as improved charge capture, expiration management, and implant documentation.
“We are extremely pleased to have been awarded a contract from Novation and support their efforts to bring innovative, value-creating technologies to their member organizations,” shared Bryan Christianson, Vice President of Marketing. “We look forward to helping VHA, UHC and Provista members leverage our RFID inventory management systems to create improved efficiency, increased profitability, and enhanced patient outcomes.”
