Precision in Implant Surgeries: Leveraging AI for Improved Outcomes and Savings

Customer Background:

The client is a world-renowned academic medical center specializing in musculoskeletal health. With a legacy dating back to the 1860s, it stands as one of the oldest and most esteemed orthopedic hospitals in the United States. Annually, the center conducts over 30,000+ surgical procedures, maintaining its status as the country’s leading hospital for hip surgeries and knee replacements.

Challenges

The client, a leading academic medical center specializing in musculoskeletal health, faced substantial hurdles in managing the inventory required for over 30,000 surgeries annually. The primary challenge originated from the variability in implant sizes necessary for orthopedic procedures, leading to escalated inventory levels and increased costs. Additionally, the need to maintain surgical implants in sterile conditions until use added complexity and cost to inventory management. This, coupled with the necessity to stock multiple sizes, resulted in heightened wastage and dead stock, complicating the supply chain and hindering efficient inventory management practices.
