RTLS for Efficient Future Healthcare Systems

INCREASE EFFICIENCY + REDUCE SPENDING WITH BETTER VISIBILITY TO ASSET MOVEMENT

SmartX HUB’s Real Time Location System (RTLS) provides a complete overview of the historical usage pattern and real-time location of patients, medical equipment, staff, or medications. This will increase the safety of your hospital or care facility. It will also save time, conserve resources, avoid unnecessary expenditures, and improve the level of care by facilitating process improvement, more efficient workflows, and more efficient equipment placement.

Nurses spend a reported 10% of their time looking for equipment. A 300-bed hospital adds up to 156,000 hours a year spent away from the bedside—more than $5M in wages for the non-value-added time. In addition, biomedical technicians spend an estimated 208 hours annually hunting down equipment due for preventive maintenance— a frustrating exercise.

Save Lives with Medical Asset Tracking

Routine hospital operations present many challenges for hospital management. The best possible patient care constantly competes with optimal and cost-efficient staff and resources. SmartX HUB’s Medical Asset Tracking or RTLS will play a crucial role in improving operational processes in healthcare facilities and assisting your organization in providing the best possible care:

  • - Faster response times
  • - The immediate location of required medical equipment
  • - Monitoring of patient and staff movements
  • - Enforcement of hygiene protocols
  • - Digitized workflows
  • - Emergency call systems for patients and staff

The primary goal of healthcare is to support and preserve people’s health. But it’s not just doctors and nurses who can save patients’ lives with life-saving procedures; RTLS can save lives, too. In medical emergencies, rapid location of medical equipment and appropriate staff response is critical. Hospitals are usually complex buildings with many medical devices spread across different floors.

Medical Asset Tracking from SmartX HUB helps employees locate devices as quickly as possible using a mobile app. This saves valuable time, which can be spent on treating patients.

Reduced costs and increased productivity

The use of RTLS in healthcare leads to improved and faster patient care and is excellent for gathering data for improving operations and processes in general. Evaluating the numbers from real-time tracking of people and medical assets can help you create streamlined and efficient processes where they are needed. These insights will save you time in life-threatening situations and tremendous costs in the long run.
Through its unique efficiency algorithm, SmartX HUB’s RTLS enables optimal placement, routing, and medical equipment utilization. Thereby reducing wait and idle times. The SmartX HUB RTLS platform can be easily integrated into an existing hospital information system (HIS/ERP) via an open API and effectively communicate between operational management, staff, and patients. In addition, resource planning processes such as bed requirements, medication monitoring, or ward trolley inventory can be automated. Medical equipment tracking also offers adequate theft protection against bad investments due to supposed losses or non-traceability.
Healthcare services can also get:
IMPROVED NURSING SATISFACTION - Nurses can quickly locate everything from telemetry packs to IV pumps. The time spent walking the halls in search of equipment is now redirected to value-added patient care activities.
ENHANCED WORKFLOW FOR PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE - Biomedical teams benefit from a more organized, informed approach to their daily work with features designed for preventive maintenance routines.
BETTER PATIENT CARE - When correctly maintained equipment is easily found, nurses spend more time at the bedside and less time searching. With increased focus on caregiving, patient satisfaction scores can improve by 15 points.
