We continue to hear about skyrocketing healthcare costs in the news. Hospitals, caught in the middle, struggle to manage their second largest expense, medical supplies. Healthcare systems are often managing 50 thousand to 1 million items with 30-40% annual change.
Symmetric Health Solutions was founded to help save healthcare organizations countless hours on managing this vast array of supplies by enabling process automation with data capture, enrichment, and entry technologies. Our customers today include over 600 hospitals in the US, UK, and Middle East, medical device registries, distributors, and government bodies.
Each night, we pull, aggregate, and reconcile data from hundreds of sources including regulatory databases, websites, and catalogs with our customers' data sets. We manage the industry's largest repository of supplies information with over 400 fields describing 12m+ items. To help our customers consume this information, we have a best-in-class search and data management experience, primarily driven by our cloud-based web app, APIs, mobile application, and phenomenal customer success team.
When it comes to developing features for Symmetric, our philosophy is simple - everything is built around identifying opportunities to save time. We believe that healthcare's supply chain is made better when data quality, software, and people are continuously improving.
Our current offerings include:
- Items: An ever growing database of Healthcare Trade Items, organized by Symmetric Item ID - a primary key for organizing Manufacturer Trade Item information.
- Terminal: A web application for searching, matching, loading, and managing Item Master datasets, which serves as our customer's Item data hub.
- Super Scan: A label imaging mobile application supporting the automatic identification and data capture (AIDC) of Medical Product Label information.
- Search: A search API for item data enrichment.
- Match: A record linkage API for item data record-linkage.
