Navigating Supply Chain Challenges: ODI’s Commitment to Uninterrupted LVAD Care

Supply chain issues face every industry, and medical supplies are no exception. As a company that prides itself in providing high quality customized care to each client, ODI commits to working closely with manufacturers so that a patient in need never has to go without the supplies necessary for driveline care. Here are some things you might expect from our team in case of supply chain issues.

On occasion, manufacturers have product shortages that can affect driveline kit items. ODI’s extensive resources and product knowledge allows for hospital approved substitutions and/or single-item, add-ons that may be missing in the hospital’s kit. The goal at ODI is to ensure patients have all items needed for dressing changes and work with patients and hospitals to maintain VAD program protocols.

ODI’s team of logistics specialists and software management allows for real-time product availability. The system alerts staff to low stock items and allows for time to source product from other partners.

It’s important to remember that your care team is here for you. When the unavoidable happens, consult your Account Representative to discuss next steps.
