h-trak specialises in providing Patient Centric Inventory Management which includes integrated procedure information using barcode and mobile technologies. Our GS1 approved point of care system enables hospitals to manage inventory, reduce stock wastage, streamline the procurement process, drive clinical efficiencies and importantly boost patient safety by tracking and tracing devices. Our h-trak system accurately identifies products used in surgical procedures to provide a rich source of procedure information; essentially the data is captured once and used interoperably in many ways throughout hospital systems. The h-trak system provides data on all aspects of procedures, including consumables and implant costs, OPCS codes, the staff present in the procedure as well as timings and the reasons for any procedure delays. Analysis of this data helps clinical and theatre management teams address clinical variance and make process improvements within their theatre operations. h-trak can support hospitals with improving their supply chain and managing the procurement process, allowing them to be able to achieve inventory cost savings, drive clinical efficiencies and ‘track and trace’ devices to boost patient safety. Finance, clinical and procurement professionals are able to use h-trak data to review performance, achieve cost savings, improve supply chains, identify clinical variance and deliver Scan4Safety transformations.

We know the view from your side of the table, and we’re committed to providing you with a different kind of technology experience—one marked by requirements addressed, promises met, and value delivered. Ultimately, there are two primary categories of technology in any hospital or clinical environment: large enterprise platforms, like the EHR and ERP, and downstream point solutions spanning an abundance of functional areas. Which of these technologies is Genesis? The answer is neither. WE ARE… The First Solution to Bring It All Together. Genesis is not just another interface, nor is it a heavy enterprise platform. It is the first solution to bridge the great divide between the supply chain’s ERP and the clinical environment’s EHR. Instead of eliminating or replacing heavy legacy systems in the hospital, Genesis brings it all together to build an immediate and sustainable path to value and patient safety.

Hempsons has an established procurement law practice and a national reputation for the provision of high quality pragmatic legal advice and project management in this area. Procurement law is a fast moving and evolving area of law where specialist input is essential. Public procurement generally has never had such a high profile. The Procurement Act 2023 has received Royal Assent, and is expected to come into force in October 2024. The introduction of the Provider Selection Regime (assuming it receive approval from Parliament) will provide a bespoke regime for the commissioning of health care services. The PSR is expected to come into force on 1 January 2024. Working alongside the NHS England policy team and NHS England legal team, Hempsons has advised on the development of the PSR over the past two years. This is therefore a period of significant change. This will bring a number of opportunities, and challenges, to contracting authorities and suppliers. Our specialist procurement team, headed up by Andrew Daly, sits within a wider Corporate Commercial department and provides advice to contracting authorities and bidders nationally. We also provide support and advice for organisations in receipt of grant funding who are required to run competitive processes and who may not ordinarily do so in their normal course of business.
