“Our greatest benefit, in my opinion, is the way we are using the tool to automate non-value-added tasks, [such as] keeping real-time PAR values on highly utilized patient equipment and having alerts sent when that PAR has been compromised so it can be dealt with. If you look at patient satisfaction, our scores are very high…[The solution] helps workers locate assets quickly, thereby enabling them to spend more time serving patients. In addition, the patient-tracking function makes it possible to automate the discharge process, as well as find patients for friends and family, while the personnel-tracking capability enables the system to identify which staff members have been within the vicinity of an infectious patient.”
“From a business standpoint, asset management pays for the RTLS infrastructure. However, RTLS is continually making inroads into clinical services, and it’s this convergence of asset management and clinical workflow which demonstrates the true promise of RTLS. The longer term goal of RTLS is full integration with internal information systems for EMR, Lab, and RAD, among others. The activating principle for this system integration is ‘measuring and managing the patient journey’ where the entire patient experience can proceed in an efficient and clinically effective manner.”
