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.
iRISupply: The Smarter Way to Track and Manage OR Inventory
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
“When compared to the barcode system, over a 10-month implementation period, charge capture increased by 20%, or $60,000 per month.”
— Interventional Radiology Team, Massachusetts General Hospital
“I love how the data automatically flows to Epic. This really reduces a lot of error in capture, and makes the lives of our clinicians way easier.”
— Cath Lab Manager, Academic Medical Center in Massachusetts
“If you have service lines that stock out of key supplies and you’re manually controlling inventory with high cost overruns, this is a great system to help you solve your challenges.”
— Service Line Director, Heart Hospital in Texas
