Most high-risk (Class III), moderate-risk (Class II) and implantable devices now have UDIs. To achieve the necessary next step for a comprehensive UDI-enabled system for patient safety, UDIs must be electronically documented during patient care, a process not routinely done. The purpose of this research was to study the implementation experiences of diverse health systems in order to develop a roadmap for UDI implementation at the point of care.Methods: Semi-structured interviews were conducted with personnel at health systems that had implemented UDI for implantable devices in their cardiac catheterization labs or operating rooms. Interviews were audio-recorded, transcribed, and analyzed using the framework methodology of Ritchie and Spencer. Data interpretation involved development of a conceptual model and detailed recommendations for UDI implementation. An expert panel evaluated and provided input on the roadmap.Results: Twenty-four interviews at ten health systems were conducted by phone. Participants described implementation steps, factors and barriers impacting implementation. Findings populated a UDI implementation roadmap, that includes Foundational Themes, Key Components, Key Steps, UDI Use, and Outcomes.Conclusions and Implications: The UDI implementation roadmap provides a framework for health systems to address the necessary steps and multilevel factors that underpin UDI implementation at the point of care. It is intended to guide and advance routine electronic documentation of UDIs for devices used during clinical care, the critical next step for a comprehensive UDI-enabled system to enhance medical device safety and effectiveness for patients.Keywords: unique device identifiers, implants, implementation framework, UDI-enabled system, implantable devicesWilson NATcheng JEGraham JDrozda JP JrDove Medical Pressarticleunique device identifiersimplantsimplementation frameworkudi-enabled systemimplantable devicesMedical technologyR855-855.5ENMedical Devices: Evidence and Research, Vol Volume 14, Pp 411-421 (2021) |
