30 minutes after the surgery,
the operating room has been cleaned and
cleared for the next procedure.
a surgeon is relying on the tools in
his surgical procedure pack to help
him perform life-saving surgery.
High-quality, cost-e ective care
As the business behind healthcare, we impact the
interactions between doctors, nurses, pharmacists and
patients by providing products and integrating services
to eliminate errors and waste. We know what it takes
to wring ine ciencies and cost from the supply chain.
We understand the partnerships that are necessary
to help provide high-quality, cost-e ective care. And
through these partnerships with our customers, we
can help shape the future of healthcare together.
Reducing errors
Avoidable medical errors cost the U.S. healthcare industry
$20 billion each year and put patient lives in jeopardy. We
help reduce some of the most common medical errors and
promote a safer medication-use process.
Retained foreign objects are the most common adverse
surgical event reported, so we o er a comprehensive suite
of technologies to prevent them. For example, we o er
sponge counting and documentation systems to prevent
surgical sponge leave-behinds, which can help save as much
as $400,000 per case in additional care and litigation costs.
We also o er a replenishment service for automated
dispensing cabinets (ADMs) in hospitals. We customize
re lls for each ADM so they can be more quickly and safely
replenished with medications that are already in FDA-
approved unit-dose, barcoded packaging. This ensures that
the right medications go to the right ADMs and greatly
reduces the need for repackaging in the hospital pharmacy.
