– By ensuring every supply and implant is accurately documented at the point of use, AssistIQ provides trusted data to capture every charge – correctly – and guide smarter operational decisions.
Improving Financial Performance, Patient Care, and Staff Experience
The healthcare industry is heavily investing in artificial intelligence (AI) to reduce administrative burdens and improve care, with AI-driven documentation being a top priority for health system leaders. However, documentation of supplies and implants used in procedures has often been overlooked, despite its significant impact on provider focus and a hospital’s bottom line.
The rollout of the new platform spans more than 100 operating and procedural rooms. By accurately documenting every supply and implant at the point of use, AssistIQ provides reliable data to capture every charge correctly and guide smarter operational decisions. Tom Lubotsky, Chief Supply Chain Officer at Allina Health, said that having complete and reliable data allows his teams to work more efficiently and consistently, which provides the foundation for understanding product costs and waste.
Early deployment of the platform has already shown measurable improvements, with teams capturing more billable products, strengthening revenue integrity, and easing the documentation burden on staff. Josh Buehler, COO of AssistIQ, noted that by capturing every product reliably, hospitals are seeing up to 30% more billable revenue and a reduction in inventory errors.
