Hospital Asset Tracking

Managing mobile assets in a hospital is an enormous task. Active RFID hospital asset tracking solutions have become a key tactic in reducing the time, cost and patient care delays associated with locating hospital assets.

Without a hospital asset tracking solution in place, nurses, techs and support staff must spend time looking for equipment throughout the day to care for patients. Clinical engineers spend combing the hospital for equipment that needs scheduled maintenance. Patient transport is often delayed when a wheelchair or gurney cannot be located. Hospital administrators typically incur artificially high equipment rental costs and excess capital expense to guarantee sufficient inventory to ensure patient safety and ease staff time searching for equipment.

The significant challenge common to all of these is timely, reliable locating of important equipment and assets and a hospital asset tracking solution can change significantly shift this paradigm. Thousands of pieces of equipment – from IV pumps to wheelchairs – constantly move around the hospital. Without an automated hospital asset tracking solution, finding what you need when you need it can affect patient safety, clinical outcomes, staff productivity and job satisfaction.
