Location tracking in healthcare
Real-time location data improves vital information and increases the visibility of mobile medical devices, equipment and resources within a busy acute hospital setting. Access to accurate location data helps nursing staff find medical devices in a timely manner to deliver patient care. Accurate location data of medical devices is essential for the clinical engineering teams who regularly service and repair medical devices to maintain a safe inventory of medical devices to support patient safety initiatives.
CORE ELEMENTS
- Real-time localization of all items at room-level
- Ability to search for specific categories of devices and locate individual assets that are nearest
Ability to integrate location tracking data with 3rd Party systems e.g. task management, asset maintenance, business intelligence tools, etc.
