Decreased time spent locating equipment for audits from days to seconds
Automated tracking leads to fewer lost items
When a worker checks out an item, they are associated with that asset’s unique tag chip. Readers scan each tag chip as the asset moves throughout the facility so Hospital staff can instantly locate the asset. Asset movements are stored and presented in real-time making it easy to identify items that leave the hospital’ facilities without permission, and preventing possible asset loss.
Annual time savings due to reduced search needs
Previously, locating items throughout the multiple wings of the hospital took days. Nurses spent an average of 30 minutes per day looking for equipment. With increased inventory accuracy and the real-time location system, items are now located within seconds. Not only are items located faster, but the history of each item is now readily available, creating a safer patient environment.
Decreased overall inventory needs
Increased visibility and fewer lost assets led to improved asset utilization. Having a full picture of all of their items, the hospital realized they had more assets than they needed. With this new picture into their inventory, they were able to decrease overall inventory by identifying two redundant products, saving significant costs.
Better maintenance rates reduced patient risk
Since hospital personnel can track items faster and more accurately, staff can better understand where equipment has been and when it needs scheduled maintenance. This means equipment gets maintained when it needs it, significantly reducing patient risk due to faulty equipment.
Increased asset utilization.
Total visibility to where and how each asset is used improves asset allocation, optimizing utilization and workflows with real-time PAR Level management.
