Module 2 • Materials in the live feed

CLINICAL OPERATIONS

Preference cards and actual usage are how materials hit the live P&L — planned, used, and paid.

The EHR still runs the case. Finch connects to it — and to materials — so supplies, implants, and actual usage land in the live feed the moment the case closes. Digital preference cards, used vs. pulled, substitutions, and implant lots are how case costs stay current. AI catches waste here so you keep the margin on the P&L.

Preference Cards

  • • Digital cards that stay current and support multiple variants per surgeon/procedure
  • • Real-time usage tracking during cases (used vs. pulled, notes, substitutions)
  • • Full version history and collaboration between surgeons and staff

Supply & Inventory Management

  • • Digital implant sheets with lot/serial/expiration tracking
  • • Live inventory visibility and par-level alerts
  • • Automatic consumption tracking from cases

Why It Matters

Real Case Costs • Less Waste • Cards the OR Actually Uses
