Louise Murphy Product Manager, Market Tracking | Medical Supply Distribution

Product Information Management (PIM): Your Tool to Expanded Selling Opportunities

As manufactures, do we truly understand the power of well-organized and accurate product data, and how best to share this data with our distributor channel partners?  HIDA recognized that our industry does not utilize a universal standard when communicating product information and developed a PIM workgroup comprised of manufacturers and distributors to help establish a better path forward.  Kendall Lemmert is leading this effort and will share the work currently being done on this very important initiative.

But our data work is not done there.  Next, we will be introduced to Clarivate, who HIDA is now contracted with as a supplier of market data for our industry.  (Previously contracted with GHX).  Louise Murphy will walk us through the services that Clarivate offers and how capturing and reviewing product data can help better chart the course of success for any business.

Data drives better decisions, and providing good product data from the start will allow for more meaningful data throughout.

Attention all manufacturers selling on a global stage:

Reed Tech, in conjunction with Xtalks, is offering a webinar to expand the conversation regarding data management and UDI compliance. Click Here to Register.

Date: May 21, 2019, 3:00 PM to 4:30 PM

It is HMMC’s goal to continue to share information as it relates to the UDI label requirements. Many of our manufactured products are used in kits, packaged and sold with other manufactured products. The attached Guidance Document was published to aid in the understanding of when and where a UDI should be applied. The FDA is hosting a webinar on Tuesday, May 21, 2019, from 3:00 PM to 4:30 PM to further review this information. Click Here.

Date: March 21, 2019

Mercy Health worked with Tecsys to produce the attached video which shows the power of centralized data and utilization of UDI. While this is just one example of one area within a health system, it’s not too much of a leap to take to see how it can help efficiencies across many different areas.

If you have not yet embraced the power behind UDI utilization and how being UDI compliant is important, perhaps this video will help. Click HERE to view video.

Date: February 2019

When a health system can scan product into their system, they can confirm use of time-sensitive product.

Use of UDI translates to all products and offers better overall inventory control measures which will have a direct impact on the health system’s bottom line. Click Here to see how the Veterans Affairs (VA) Medical Center in Miami, Florida is implementing UDI within their system.

Tuesday, February 26 at 2:00 PM – 3:00 PM Eastern /11:00 AM – 12:00 PM PST

Unique Device Identification (UDI) continues to evolve in application and in adoption both here in the US, and on a global stage.  How prepared is your company to meet all the regulatory requirements so that you can sell effectively within our growing global markets.

Reed Tech is hosting a free webinar which will address issues related to UDI & data management to support best practices.

Please share this informative webinar with those persons within your company who you feel will most benefit, information is knowledge, knowledge is power!

HMMC is committed to help you Learn, Network & Succeed
