How Jump Technologies and Champion Medical will improve supply management
In an attempt to improve health systems as well as the tracking and control of supplies, innovative software company Jump Technologies has partnered with medical device management IT company Champion Medical Technologies.
Jump Technologies provides solutions that improve supply management. With supply chain costs being the second-largest expense for healthcare systems, and the Affordable Care Act creating financial incentives to improve the quality of care at provider organizations, improving supply and device management creates a significant savings opportunity.
