RAIN in Healthcare Workshop - Wisconsin, USA

Transforming the Healthcare Supply Chain with RAIN Technology

Every year, hospitals lose millions of dollars to expired medications, misplaced surgical equipment, and drug diversion — while overworked clinical staff spend countless hours on manual tracking and inventory tasks that pull them away from patient care

There is a proven solution already transforming retail and logistics industries globally and it is now revolutionizing healthcare in 2000 US hospitals. RAIN technology is delivering real-time, automated visibility across the entire medical and pharmacy supply chain: from the manufacturer's loading dock to the patient's bedside. Laying the foundation for significant supply chain and operational changes.

This comprehensive one-day masterclass will provide an overview of how healthcare professionals in the US are currently deploying, and benefitting from using, RAIN to track items, ranging from hospital assets to medical devices to medication vials. Attendees will take away an understanding of the critical aspects of implementing RAIN for their specific applications in the healthcare market.
