CentraState lays foundation for safer future
For a small community hospital, CentraState Healthcare System is faced with the same compliance issues and business imperatives as any larger healthcare system: patient safety and cost containment.
Clinical supply chain and information system professionals joined together to develop processes for using GS1 standards to automatically and accurately identify products in its operating room (OR), while recording them in patient records required by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid (CMS) and Office of National Coordinator (ONC).
The ability to uniquely identify products used throughout the healthcare supply chain will not only enable CentraState to satisfy regulatory requirements, but also help the hospital increase patient safety, improve staff productivity, achieve precise and inclusive capture of costs, and continue to build community trust.
Your local GS1 office is here to help.
