Department
Cardiac Cath Lab
The procedure, the stent and the claim, captured once.
The problem
Stents and balloons are opened during a case and reconciled against the store afterwards, from memory. The procedure report is dictated and typed later. Pre-authorisation for a high-value implant runs on a phone call while the patient is on the table. The catalogue price the case was quoted at has already changed by the time the bill is raised.
The platform
How Pensieve serves this
- ForgeThe catheterisation order carries the procedure and every consumable from the hospital's approved catalogue, and the item that was ordered stays fixed even when the catalogue moves.
- VaultA consumable issued in the lab raises its charge at the moment it is issued, against the payer and tariff the visit already carries.
- CadenceImplant pre-authorisation runs as a timed workflow with a named owner on each step and a visible position.
- VigilBatch and lot detail on every implant stays retrievable for the recall register and the accreditation file.
What changes
- Every implant opened is an implant billed, traced to a batch and a case.
- The procedure report is written from structured capture rather than dictated after the list.
- The authorisation is a workflow the desk can see, rather than a call somebody has to chase.
