Jump Technologies partners with Simplify OR to offer “one-click” documentation platform
Jump Technologies, a hospital supply chain solutions provider, has signed a new and exclusive marketing agreement to sell Simplify OR along with its JumpStock inventory management software platform. The arrangement will give hospitals and health systems access to one-click-and-done clinical and supply chain documentation for implantable devices, which the company says will reduce the amount of time nurses spend on paperwork and open up new revenue for hospitals.
Jump Technologies delivers a cloud-based hospital supply chain software solution called JumpStock that the company says integrates with any enterprise resource planning (ERP) system and/or electronic medical record (EMR) system to help hospitals increase revenues through improved charge capture in procedural areas and save money by providing actionable analytics. The new agreement gives Jump Technologies exclusive rights to market and sell the SmartApp by Simplify OR, an application that automates the clinical and supply chain documentation of implantable devices – such as total joint replacements – in operating rooms (OR) and procedure suites, two areas that are primary cost drivers for hospitals.
“Life-changing procedures, such as joint replacements, generate a lot of paperwork for nurses and other clinicians,” said John Freund, CEO of Jump Technologies. “By offering Simplify OR alongside the JumpStock solution, nurses can document the use of implants with one click and ensure that surgical charges are captured accurately and consistently. This will increase revenue for hospitals and keep nurses happy by allowing them to focus on patient care.”
According to Jim Ferch, co-founder of Simplify OR, the application was developed based on feedback from nurses who were tired of the manual process related to billing for implantable devices (which often come to hospitals through trunk stock or consignment stock) and who were witness to the lost revenue and inaccuracy of this process.
