A 500-bed hospital in Texas struggled to manage 160 crash carts due to limited visibility into expiration dates of prepackaged trays, leading to waste and inefficiency. The manual process of checking expiration dates was time-consuming and pulled valuable hours away from patient care, increasing the risk of delays during emergencies.

SxanPro introduced Unique Device Identification (UDI) technology, using the label on each prepackaged tray with expiration date data that could be managed with mobile technology and the inventory health dashboard. This automated inventory monitoring and rotation, reducing the need for manual checks and ensuring crash carts were always stocked with current supplies. The visibility allowed proactive management of all 160 crash carts by the supply chain team, enhancing labor efficiency.

The implementation of SxanPro’s UDI technology saved the hospital 8,586 nursing hours annually, translating to approximately $245,000 in reduced personnel costs each year. By streamlining inventory checks and optimizing product use, the hospital saved $8,958 per year across all crash carts and eliminated 34 unnecessary items per cart. Overall, the improvements resulted in over $250,000 in total annual savings, enhancing patient safety and allowing nursing staff to focus more on direct patient care​.
