Introducing HandOff™ from BlackTie Medical The healthcare supply chain's answer to non-stock, non-standard supply transactions The materials management platform is the backbone of supply transactions at every hospital but when the MMIS' functionality and standard supply processes are not followed, transaction control and pricing accuracy takes a hit. Such is the case in nearly every hospital when it comes to dealing with bill-only product transactions (also known as consignment, scrub POs, walk-ins, trunk stock, etc.) in which the supply chain only becomes aware of a product after it has been used in a patient. BlackTie's HandOff Service is designed to organize, standardize and improve this critical transaction area. And just in time... The value of bill-only transactions will soon rise to over 25% of the average hospitals entire supply spend. BlackTie is a new and novel approach... to solving some of the most intractable, irritating, and from a process standpoint, most expensive business management challenges in the healthcare supply chain. We recognize the importance of maximizing your investment in your MMIS platform. As such, our solutions channel many non-standard supply chain processes in a manner that complements and extends the MMIS functionality available from your ERP platform. At BlackTie we identify informal supply chain conditions that exist in nearly every hospital and then design, develop, and deploy our Internet-based application engine to formalize these processes. And to save you money. In some cases, lots of money.
