Low-cost printable RFID tags can be placed on individual medications, supplies, surgical kits, and other pharmaceutical items. The tagged items are automatically tracked by RFID fixed readers installed in hospital warehouses, storage areas, doorways, or supply cabinets.
As assets move from place to place, healthcare institutions use SmartX HUB solution to get highly accurate inventory visibility in real time—counting items 25 times faster than barcode scans and raising inventory accuracy rates to over 95%.
Data about items can give insight into usage patterns, reveal places that might be short on itens, and help predict when and where an item might be needed immediately. Healthcare companies can thwart hoarding of supplies, prevent over-purchasing for safety stock, and determine when it’s time for replenishment. Moreover, staff can avoid wasting time looking for an item; with visibility enabled by SmartX HUB, they’ll know exactly where to find it.
At the most important Hospital in Latin America, Brazil, staff used to manage inventory by manually scanning barcodes on assets with handheld devices. When the hospital faces an increased demand for surgical procedures, it adopted the SmartX platform to process the surgical material orders of RFID-tagged surgical kits as they moved throughout the facility, including shipping and receiving areas. With our automated system, staff now have insight into where items are as they move between warehouses, surgical rooms, or pass through doorways.
SmartX HUB RFID system makes it easier to both detect and prevent theft—going beyond just an alarm at the door. Healthcare institutions can see which specific item has been taken and when, providing new insights into loss patterns, gaps in security, and causes of theft. Using real-time and historical data, medical institutions can crackdown on theft and prevent future losses.
Using the SmartX HUB platform, our customers can also greatly reduce waste and enhance safety. The information stored on the SmartX HUB system can include more than just the type of item; it can include a medication’s expiration date, manufacture date, lot number, and other such data. Armed with the knowledge of where specific items are at all times, healthcare companies can prevent expired or recalled medication from reaching a patient.
In Saudi Arabic, Magrabi Hospitals are using the SmartX HUB system to tracks medical assets in real-time and fully integrates with the hospital management database.
Alster Hospital Group in Dubai is able to count and inventory 20.000 in one facility. The audit process now is made easy.
Our customer in Brazil, instead of wasting time tracking down individual assets, each device to be tracked is fitted with an RFID tag, and the unique ID is registered on the SmartX HUB software. Impinj readers then detect the presence of the tags and send the location information to the central database. This can be done through a network of fixed readers or through a mobile trolley reader which is pushed through the hospital detecting the presence of assets within range. This means that employees can find assets quickly by checking the database without having to waste time searching wards and corridors.
Properly maintaining medical equipment is one of the most important efforts a construction firm can undertake to maintain productivity and profitability. But it can also be one of the trickiest, given the sheer volume of assets owned or rented at one time and the fact that many firms still rely on manual record-keeping to stay on top of service and repairs.
In today’s competitive construction industry, it’s imperative that every piece of equipment is proactively maintained, so it doesn’t fall out of service in the middle of a job. When that happens, the company doesn’t just have an asset problem— they have a labor cost problem.
With each asset tracked and logged in the hospital management database in real-time, scheduled maintenance is faster and easier than ever, ensuring that patients receive the best working devices and those out-of-order assets are replaced quickly.
SmartX HUB Platform can help Healthcare institutions get ahead of maintenance issues by:
