Definition: The use or consumption of feature provided by an implants registry system (IRS). The implant registries are integrated data systems developed to improve patient safety, quality, outcomes, and cost effectiveness. Source: Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society (HIMSS) Source reference: https://www.himss.org/ Additional information: The Implants Registry System (IRS) is a crucial tool in healthcare management. It helps in maintaining a record of all the implants used in a healthcare facility. This system is designed to track the implant from the manufacturer to the patient, ensuring traceability and accountability. It includes information such as the type of implant, manufacturer details, batch number, date of implant, surgeon details, patient details, and any adverse events related to the implant. The IRS is also used for post-market surveillance of implants, helping to identify any potential issues or recalls. It aids in improving patient safety, enhancing quality of care, and facilitating research and development in the field of medical implants. Example: Examples of application include tracking the usage of hip and knee replacements in a hospital, monitoring the performance of cardiac pacemakers in patients, and identifying potential issues with breast implants. The IRS can also be used to facilitate recalls in case of faulty implants, ensuring that all affected patients are quickly identified and notified.
