Question 53: What are the steps to implement UDI in healthcare facilities?
Answer 53:
(1) Team building: It involves all clinical departments, functional departments of consumable management and information department, and requires the leadership of the hospital to implement the application uniformly.
(2) Study relevant laws and policies: UDI regulations, policies, standards, etc.
(3) System transformation: Involving various systems in the hospital, based on UDI database segment standard, the system database architecture was reformed to realize the function of automatically filling data into the system through scanning. Upgrade the code scanning device.
(4) Obtaining national UDI data: Choose interface interconnection or download to obtain the UDI database of the National Office.
(5) DI cross-code: The "hospital self-coding, DK medical insurance classification code, billing code" is associated with the reference code.
(6) Application: UDI related records should be applied in various scenarios such as procurement, receipt, acceptance, warehousing, warehousing, use, settlement and adverse events. Establish hospital traceability system.
Question 54: Why should the data of consumables in medical institutions be coded?
Answer 54: The main reasons for the data of medical consumables are as follows:
(1) Connect with national UDI data database to ensure the quality of consumables entering the hospital.
(2) Improve the efficiency of UDI code scanning. After UDI is implemented in the hospital of medical institutions, UDI codes are scanned when the physical objects enter the hospital. If the data of hospital consumables is not mapped with DI, UDI codes cannot be analyzed. At the same time, the authenticity of the physical consumables cannot be confirmed by the matching check between DI in the physical UDI label and DI in the national UDI database.
(3) DI has the unique identity attribute of medical consumables, and the existing consumables data can be obtained from the NATIONAL UDI database through pair code mapping, which is conducive to the management of the unique identity of hospital consumables data.
Question 55: How to perform DI code matching in medical institutions?
Answer 55: Manual code matching is of great workload and low efficiency. The UDI Service Public Interest Platform can be used for automatic code verification. After registering and logging in to the platform, users can use the function modules of UDI-DI matching code, standardized data diagnosis and qualification management for free.

http://udi.cmic.com.cn/udi/#/login
Question 56: Why can't I log in to UDI public service platform after registration?
Answer 56: UDI public service platform is for users of medical institutions to use. When registering, they need to upload the practicing license of medical institutions. After the registration is submitted, the platform will approve the account (usually 1-2 working days). Only after approval can you log in and use it. If you have any problems during use, you can call 010-84438357 for free consultation.
Question 57: Why is the to-code ratio so low?
Answer 57: The use of UDI service public welfare platform for code matching essentially means that the data of medical institutions are automatically mapped to the data of national UDI database. The reasons for the mismatch are as follows:
(1) The data of medical institutions are not standardized. The data in the national UDI database are filled in by manufacturers according to the information of medical device registration certificate. If there is any difference between the two parties' data, it cannot be automatically matched.
(2) There is no such data in the national UDI database. At present, the data in the national UDI database are reported by manufacturers according to the progress requirements of national UDI promotion, and not all the data of medical devices have been reported.
Question 58: Can DI code be mapped to consumable national medical insurance classification and code at the same time?
Answer 58: The DI code main database is the national UDI database, and the national Medical insurance classification and code main database is the National Medical Insurance Administration database. The construction subject and data content of the two databases are different, and the underlying mapping of the two databases is not carried out at present.
