Since implementing a cloud-based platform in 2021, Baltimore-based University of Maryland Medical Center has worked to optimize the efficiency of bill-only transactions in the supply chain. Data from the deployment of Gallion showed the platform has cut transaction completion times by 75% and reduced error rates from 18% to 3% across UMMS' 11 hospitals.
Developed by the health system's innovation center, iHarbor, Gallion automates the tracking and processing of medical supplies, reducing time and potential errors associated with other manual methods, according to a Sept. 23 news release from the health system.
