For years, hospitals tested visibility in isolated pilots. A department-level asset tracking initiative. A tray proof-of-concept. A limited inventory experiment.
That phase is ending.
Today, health systems are confronting a different reality. Equipment appears scarce despite sufficient inventory. OR delays are tied to tray uncertainty. Specimen chain-of-custody scrutiny is rising. Supply chain volatility exposes recall and expiration risk. Staffing shortages magnify every inefficiency.
The question is no longer whether visibility matters.
The question is how to operationalize it at an enterprise scale.
At HIMSS 2026, ID Integration will be in the Zebra Technologies Pavilion at Booth #2435 to discuss what it takes to build a reliable visibility infrastructure that supports capital planning, clinical throughput, compliance, and multi-site growth.
Asset Intelligence
Move beyond device location to utilization analytics that reduce unnecessary rentals and support data-driven capital allocation.
Surgical Tray Intelligence
Confirm wrapped trays instantly. Reduce reprocessing waste. Protect OR throughput. Strengthen compliance without increasing manual burden.
Specimen Continuity
Automate handoff validation across perioperative and lab environments to protect patient safety and audit defensibility.
Inventory Confidence
Improve expiration management and recall readiness with automated capture that integrates directly into ERP and clinical systems.
Technology alone is not a transformation. Architecture, governance, executive sponsorship, and phased deployment strategy determine whether visibility scales or stalls.
At HIMSS, our conversations will focus on measurable ROI, integration strategy, and how to avoid pilot fatigue while building a durable operational foundation.
If you are evaluating long-term modernization initiatives, let’s have a strategic discussion at Booth #2435. Reach out to our team here to schedule a time, or simply stop by the booth.
Enterprise visibility does not begin or end with equipment location. It extends across clinical workflows, sterile processing, laboratory operations, and supply chain governance.

Why Hospital Tracking Programs Stall — and How to Scale Without Starting Over
EHR, LIS, and CMMS Integrations for Hospital Assets & Specimen Tracking
Healthcare operations are under pressure to do more with less—while proving it with data. If you’re responsible for surgical readiness, clinical equipment availability, specimen integrity, or supply chain performance, the Track & Trace Transformation Summit 2026 is designed for you.
Date: April 22, 2026
Location: Zebra Technologies Headquarters, Lincolnshire, Illinois
Cost: Free to attend (space is limited)
Hospitals and medical device manufacturers share a common challenge: blind spots that create delays, add cost, and erode trust. This one-day executive forum focuses on practical ways RFID, RTLS, and AI turn those blind spots into real-time visibility—without forcing a rip-and-replace approach or exposing data that should remain private.
You’ll leave with clear frameworks, peer examples, and a 90-day action plan you can use to pilot or scale traceability initiatives.
How to identify sterile-wrapped trays without breaking the seal, publish clear readiness signals to the OR board, reduce re-sterilization, and support on-time starts.
A pragmatic model that shortens “locate time,” raises utilization, curbs hoarding and rentals, and keeps PM/recalls on schedule through CMMS integration.
Ways to tighten custody, accelerate recovery, and capture cold-chain evidence—while keeping PHI in the LIS.
A shared-visibility approach that improves set turnaround, reduces loss, and strengthens billing accuracy without exposing competitive data.
How to feed EHR/LIS/CMMS with concise, audit-ready events using standard interfaces so data becomes action, not noise.
The short list that matters—first-case on-time starts, median locate time, custody completeness, utilization lift, avoided rentals, and recall closure time.
Executive briefings: Clear “what/why/how” sessions anchored in measurable outcomes.
Peer case spotlights: Lessons learned from deployments in periop, biomed, lab, and field operations.
Frameworks & checklists: Take-home tools for pilot scoping and governance.
90-day roadmap: A stepwise plan to prove value fast, then scale.
Appropriations language, accreditation expectations, and workforce realities are all moving toward automation that reduces manual effort and surfaces reliable signals to existing systems. The organizations that standardize identifiers and automate capture first will see faster throughput, fewer delays, and better capital decisions.
Venue: Zebra Technologies HQ, Lincolnshire, IL (easy access from Chicago area airports)
Cost: Free registration; seating is intentionally limited to foster high-value discussion
Audience fit: Hospital leadership teams and medical device manufacturer executives
Registration is free, but space is limited.
Bring your team’s toughest bottleneck—surgical trays, equipment availability, specimen custody, or field set visibility—and leave with a practical plan to track, trace, and transform.
