Aperek Pulse™
Clinical product capture. Simplified supply chain.
A decade ago, the limited scope of supply chain technology served hospitals well. Today,
however, healthcare spending levels are alarming. Supply chain managers continue to
control administrative costs. And the most expensive items are still largely managed by
clinicians. That’s where supply chain technology has failed in clinical areas.
That’s why we designed and built Aperek Pulse™. It infuses the skill of supply
management into an easy to use tool built for clinicians. This cloud-based solution
capitalizes on the ease of use of native iPad® functionality. Aperek Pulse enables
clinicians and supply chain managers simultaneously.
With Aperek Pulse in the operating rooms, clinicians use iPad functionality to capture
product usage. In any combination, they can use the familiar touch interaction to:
• Scan bar codes with intelligent capture
• Instantly search and match products
• Take a picture and assign it to the case
• Jot down notes
• Track cases
Let’s take implant usage capture as an example. Aperek Pulse lets clinicians capture,
match and record implants used in a case. These high cost supplies can vary in price to
up to 3 times for identical implants.
Key Benefits
• Intelligent product usage capture
• Real-time visibility into product usage
and waste
• Real-time case resolutions
• Native Apple iPad® functionality
Aperek Pulse for clinicians:
• Allows clinicians to enjoy the product capture process
• Increases the accuracy of product capture
• Resolves cases real-time
• Non-disruptive transfer of product data to supply chain managers
Aperek Pulse for supply chain managers:
• Gives real-time visibility to product usage and waste
• Eliminates tracking down clinical staff for missing or incomplete documentation
• Provides information for clinical supply collaboration and savings opportunities
This powerful combination enables clinicians and those driving down clinical supply
costs. Aperek Pulse reveals ways to cut out millions in unnecessary spend.
Drive down costs and provide measurable quality outcomes with Aperek Pulse.
