Streamlining Surgical Inventory: How iRISupply Brings Control and Clarity to the OR

Operating Rooms (ORs) are among the most complex and resource-intensive environments in any hospital. With high-cost implants and supplies flowing in and out constantly, the risks of inventory waste, loss, or undercharging are high. That’s where iRISupply steps in—a smart solution from Mobile Aspects that’s transforming surgical inventory management through automation, visibility, and accountability.

The OR Inventory Challenge

Hospitals often face:

  • Implants going undocumented or unbilled

  • Manual processes leading to expired or misplaced items

  • Stockouts of critical supplies delaying procedures

  • Difficulty managing consigned inventory

These challenges directly impact both patient care and financial performance. Inefficiencies in OR inventory can result in hundreds of thousands of dollars in lost revenue annually.

Built on RFID technology, iRISupply provides real-time visibility into inventory usage, expiration dates, and location. Hospitals using iRISupply experience:

1. Automated Charge Capture with Proven ROI

iRISupply captures all implant and supply usage with no manual effort, sending it directly to your EMR and billing systems. The result:

  • 20% increase in cash collections ($750,000 at an academic medical center)

  • 30% improvement in charge capture accuracy ($5,600 per case at a pediatric hospital)

  • Up to $2.1M increase in charge capture, as reported by Massachusetts General Hospital

2. Expiration & Recall Management

iRISupply sends proactive alerts for:

  • Products nearing expiration

  • Recalled items still on shelves

  • Inventory imbalances that can be resolved using built-in AI

One community hospital reduced annual product expiration costs by $250,000 using iRISupply.

3. Real-Time Inventory Visibility

Know what you have, where it is, and how often it’s used:

  • Monitor inventory across departments and storage locations

  • Set and balance PAR levels using AI-driven recommendations

  • Track UDI data, including lot number and expiration date

4. Consignment Reconciliation & Compliance

iRISupply simplifies managing consigned inventory, ensuring:

  • You pay only for what’s used

  • Inventory is always traceable

  • Recall response is fast and accurate

Integrated. Intelligent. Intuitive.

iRISupply integrates directly with EMRs and hospital systems like Epic, Cerner, Meditech, and more. RFID technology eliminates the need for barcode scanning, mouse clicks, or stickers—freeing up clinical staff to focus on patient care.

What Our Customers Are Saying
