The Strategic Context
Vizient's Procedural Analytics identifies variation and cost drivers across procedures, clinicians, and products. CardSync is the real-time execution layer that prevents that variation before each case — connecting Epic FHIR scheduling data to ERP inventory reality 48 hours before a case hits the OR table, without adding a single new workflow step for clinical staff.

Where CardSync Fits Vizient's Portfolio
Vizient's Procedural Analytics surfaces variation after it happens — identifying that one surgeon uses a $3,000 implant where peers use a $1,200 equivalent. CardSync addresses the same problem before it happens — detecting that the preference card hasn't been updated in six months and flagging that tomorrow's case is at risk of a shortage before the scrub tech walks into the core. Vizient sees the pattern. CardSync prevents the next instance of it. Together they form a complete perioperative intelligence loop — retrospective analysis informing prospective prevention.
What CardSync Does
CardSync reads surgical schedules from Epic via FHIR, resolves bill-of-materials against active preference cards, audits live ERP inventory, optimizes demand forecasts, and surfaces procurement recommendations — entirely passively. No hardware. No nurse input. No workflow changes. The system observes; humans decide.

Key Differentiators
-
Predictive, Not Retrospective
Surfaces drift signals and shortage risks before each case — not after the waste has occurred. Turns Vizient's analytical insights into real-time preventative action.
-
Zero Hardware, Zero Workflow Changes
Deploys across Vizient's entire Epic member base without barcode scanners, RFID, or clinical workflow changes — dramatically lower implementation friction than hardware-dependent alternatives.
-
Epic FHIR Native
Reads directly from Epic via standard FHIR R4 scopes — no vendor-proprietary integration, no Epic implementation project. Works across every Epic hospital in Vizient's network.
-
Trust Threshold Disclosure
Every signal carries a confidence score and reasoning. Supply chain administrators see why a recommendation was surfaced, not just what it says.
Integration Architecture
Epic FHIR integration complete and validated against Epic's live sandbox using SMART on FHIR Backend Services with RS384 JWT assertions. ERP integration architecture designed for Infor CloudSuite and Oracle PeopleSoft — the two dominant ERP environments across Vizient's member base.

Live Demo Environments
Transplant & HPB Surgery
High-cost, high-complexity case mix. Six live card drift signals. Relevant to Vizient's academic medical center member base where implant variation drives the most significant cost impact.
Oculoplastic Surgery
Precision drift detection at the specialty level — suture type, instrument sizing, cautery device. Demonstrates CardSync's resolution accuracy on low-volume, high-precision procedures.
Orthopedic Surgery
Highest-volume, highest-cost service line across Vizient's member network. PPI variance management at scale — where CardSync delivers the most immediate and measurable savings.

Founder
Kaveh Moghadam is the founder of CardSync and Maen Consulting Group. CardSync was purpose-built for perioperative supply chain intelligence — not a repurposed general AI tool. The Epic FHIR integration was designed and validated against Epic's live sandbox environment. Kaveh is available to present a live demo or walk through the technical architecture at Vizient's convenience.
