Method and system for preparing, tracking and managing medical devices and supplies during medical and clinical settings

A system for preparing and managing medical devices and supplies for use in a medical procedure, comprising

• (1) an asset tracking subsystem, wherein the asset tracking subsystem comprises
• a first non-transitory medium storing instruction that, when executed, causing one or more computing devices to perform steps comprising
• selecting a collection of the medical devices and supplies to be used for a medical procedure in a healthcare facility, and
• updating related databases based on use and disposal of the medical devices and supplies during and after the medical procedure,
• a computing algorithm that matches the medical procedure with product information stored in related databases for selecting the collection of the medical devices and supplies,
• a second non-transitory medium, storing instruction that, when executed, causing one or more computing devices to perform steps comprising
• updating electronic records and the related databases based on the use and disposal of the medical devices and supplies, and
• a tangible, non-transitory storage medium storing one or more datasets related to product and inventory information on medical devices and supplies associated with the healthcare facility;
• (2) a scanning subsystem, wherein the scanning subsystem comprises
• a third non-transitory medium storing instruction that, when executing, causing one or more computing devices to perform steps comprising
• obtaining one or more recognition features of the medical devices and supplies in the collection selected for the medical procedure,
• obtaining and displaying product information of the medical devices and supplies in the collection based on the related databases,
• providing a user interface to verify the medical devices and supplies selected for the medical procedure,
• tracking use and disposal of the medical devices and supplies during and after the medical procedure, and
• communicating with the first non-transitory medium to update the related databases;
• and
• (3) an identification database subsystem, wherein the identification database subsystem comprises a tangible, non-transitory storage medium storing two or more datasets selected from the group consisting of a first dataset of standard information on medical devices and supplies from governing agencies, a second dataset of product information from vendors and suppliers, and a third dataset of user-input information on the medical devices and supplies.
