Product recalls in the healthcare industry are not uncommon occurrences. Whether due to manufacturing defects, contamination concerns, or other safety issues, the timely identification and handling of recalled products are paramount. Yet, the manual processes and fragmented systems often employed by hospitals make this task daunting.
Product recalls pose a significant challenge to healthcare providers, requiring swift and accurate action to mitigate potential risks to patients. However, traditional methods of recall management often fall short, leading to inefficiencies and delays in response.
