Watch: Amazon And Its Partners Challenge Driving Down Health-Care Costs

Amazon has announced its plan to form a non-profit health-care company for its US employees. But does the company understand the true, fundamental problem in health care: improving communications among health-care providers, consumers, and the companies that pay for their care. That will require a deep understanding of how to stratify and segment members into…

Amazon has announced its plan to form a non-profit health-care company for its US employees. But does the company understand the true, fundamental problem in health care: improving communications among health-care providers, consumers, and the companies that pay for their care. That will require a deep understanding of how to stratify and segment members into different cohorts, along with an army of data scientists and advanced technologies. If Amazon gets that formula right it could crack the code. Getting consumers more engaged with the health care requires delivering that information when they need it.

Censis now reads da Vinci QR codes to count robotic arm uses

Censis now reads da Vinci QR codes to count robotic arm uses

Censis Technologies told CtUC 2026 attendees that CensiTrac has read the QR code on da Vinci arms since April, so robotic arms carry use counts without a second mark. The session built a business case for CensiTrac Advanced around marked assembly, clinic inventory ownership and par levels, with a 2021 BMJ Quality & Safety study putting missing instruments at 17.6% of assembly defects.

  • 01CensiTrac has counted da Vinci arm uses from the code that already comes on each arm since April, with no laser or etch added.
  • 02Hospitals told Censis they want clinic inventory tracking mainly to prove sterile processing did not lose the instruments.
  • 03Missing instruments were 17.6% of assembly tray defects at a 700-bed hospital in a 2021 BMJ Quality & Safety study, a problem the presenter tied to marked assembly.

AdvaMed approves voluntary data access best practices for medtech companies and health systems

AdvaMed approves voluntary data access best practices for medtech companies and health systems

AdvaMed's Digital Health Tech board approved voluntary Data Access Principles & Best Practices, announced October 28, setting four principles for how medtech companies and U.S. health systems share data.

  • 01The framework covers data vendors need to implement, monitor and improve technology, with expectations for transparency, stewardship and de-identification.
  • 02Watch for the first RFPs, security questionnaires or data use agreements that cite the principles by name; a voluntary document gains weight only when buyers adopt it.

Nearly 500 hospitals track shortage-affected segments via RFID

Nearly 500 hospitals track shortage-affected segments via RFID

According to Bluesight, nearly 500 hospitals track almost 4,000 shortage-affected medication segments in their RFID systems. Checks of dispensing cabinets have been missing that RFID-tracked supply. Gilman argues that bringing RFID data in next to cabinet data gives more complete usage rates and days-on-hand calculations, though the gain could depend on whether systems connect at the transaction level.

  • 01During a shortage, a count that stops at the dispensing cabinet can misstate both stock on hand and usage rate, creating a false sense of urgency and wasteful emergency purchases.
  • 02RFID is no longer limited to kit and tray management: nearly 500 hospitals already track almost 4,000 shortage-affected medication segments in their RFID systems.
  • 03For operators weighing a merged feed, the key question could be whether RFID usage flows into the days-on-hand calculation at the transaction level or sits beside cabinet data as a static count.
