Founder and President Joan Melendez leads the team at Xcelrate UDI. She is a passionate advocate for the safety of patients and for innovation in healthcare. Xcelrate UDI is a medical device barcode scanning solution that goes beyond compliance to improve patient safety at the point of care.
Where did the idea for Xcelrate UDI come from?
I’ve always been a patient advocate. That’s where my idea and passion for this company comes from.
I started out in my teens working in a medical office. I remained in that space. In my 20s, I became more aware of the number of patients dying in cases where a surgeon wasn’t talking to the primary health provider about pre-existing conditions. So, that market problem popped up for me very early on.
Fast-forward to 2013, I became more aware when the FDA was promoting the Unique Device identifier (UDI), a scannable barcode, on medical devices as a way to track medical devices and potentially recalled items..
When you’re looking at a medical device, when it’s in your hand, how do you know if it’s recalled? Is that device being tracked in the electronic health record (EHR)? All medical devices for Class II and Class III (primarily implantable devices) required UDI barcoding by 2018. Then you have expired items… Mistakes happen, how can you keep expired items from being used when they remain on the shelves?
It was time for us to create a solution. We know what’s in the barcode. We take that data and parse it into the EHR. Xcelrate UDI is the only 3rd-party application that does this and is certified by the ONC to do that. Our solution allows healthcare providers to capture the full UDI data for each item scanned, and leverage our workflow automation to parse the UDI data into the patients’ EHR in less than 5 seconds! We’re the first with this solution and the technology.
