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.
THE 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.
Predict future workflows
The tag contains a unique ID, which is automatically captured by the Lyngsoe LIVE Logistics™ infrastructure and X-Tracking™ software, enabling staff to locate items at a room level in the hospital.
Easily identify equipment that is overdue planned maintenance.
By providing a detailed overview of the location of each item, it is possible to search for specific items and find the nearest one. It saves staff time and helps increase equipment utilization rates.
The detailed tracking records of medical device movements can be analyzed and used to help predict future workflows and provide management with real-world data to support optimization and efficiency improvements. Location history records provide full traceability of all assets making sure a high hygiene compliance level is maintained.
Tracking is performed by fitting each piece of equipment with an RFID, Barcode, BLE, or WiFi tag - using the best-fit technology.
