Research and Case Studies 📊
Sentara Cardiac OR Cuts Costs & Stockouts with RFID Medication Tracking
Sentara Norfolk General Hospital faced inventory challenges with compounded cardiac medications, leading to waste, stockouts, and safety risks. By implementing KitCheck Anywhere’s RFID tracking system, the hospital reduced expirations by 86%, saved over $49,000 annually, eliminated stockouts, improved workflow efficiency, and enhanced medication safety.
Understanding healthcare data breaches is critical to improving cybersecurity strategies for a safer, more secure future. Since 2016, the Breach Barometer report has tracked data breaches affecting U.S. patients and health data.
The 2025 report shows that last year 1,160 breach reports were compiled, with 1,043 being new incidents. A staggering 305,527,355 patient records were breached—a sharp increase driven by a single catastrophic event. Explore the full report to uncover the key trends and lessons from this challenging year.
The Diversion Quarterly is a publicly available resource that provides a snapshot of the industry based on aggregated data from over 1,150 ControlCheck customers to help hospitals benchmark their efforts. Notably, last quarter’s report shows a two-day increase in the average number of days to complete an investigation. Read the full report to see where your investigation data stacks up to the average.
