The Need

JRF Ortho is a global leader in providing orthopedic surgeons with specialized cartilage solutions for allograft joint repair. In the high-stakes field of regenerative medicine, they required a high-velocity communication bridge to facilitate priority graft requests between tissue suppliers and surgeons. To eliminate the bottlenecks of legacy systems, JRF Ortho needed a HIPAA-aligned mobile platform capable of handling complex medical data points and real-time coordination. This necessitated a clinical workflow solution that could manage highly specific surgical criteria while maintaining the speed required for time-sensitive graft matching.

The Solution

By conducting an in-depth clinical workflow audit, Epic Apps engineered a groundbreaking Enterprise iPad application tailored for the rigorous demands of orthopedic tissue matching. This proprietary medical software functions as a real-time decision support tool, streamlining how technicians collect, evaluate, and fulfill graft requests. We prioritized system interoperability, allowing the mobile front-end to communicate seamlessly with JRF's back-end databases. By digitizing the technician dashboard, the platform provides data-driven visibility into surgeon-specific requirements, reducing turnaround times and enhancing supply chain transparency within a secure, high-compliance digital environment.
