Insites Enterprise Visibility Platform
The InSites Enterprise Visibility Platform improves operational performance by providing healthcare organizations with a single system capable of locating patients, staff, equipment, and inventory via information derived through a variety of wireless locating technologies. The information is then leveraged to streamline and automate patient flow, asset management, and inventory management activities, resulting in increased productivity and efficient deployment of resources.
The versatile and scalable platform serves as the core of our healthcare customers’ enterprise visibility strategy by enabling the seamless integration of real-time location data with their existing IT systems, communication systems, building systems, and mobile devices. The platform also allows customers and integrators to customize and enhance the system to suit their unique requirements and environment.

One Platform, A Multitude of Uses
One of the most impressive benefits of the InSites Enterprise Visibility Platform is its versatility. In addition to the applications bundled with the platform, the solution can replace or augment many traditional stand-alone systems. As a result, healthcare organizations can save money and simplify system management by implementing the InSites Platform rather than purchasing, maintaining, and supporting several individual systems.

As an example of the system’s versatility and integration capabilities, suppose the InSites solution is used, in part, as a staff duress system. If a staff member is confronted with a violent patient, he or she simply presses the button on their location tag. The signal is received and processed by the platform’s rules engine. As a result, several actions are triggered: (1) an audible alarm is sounded; (2) a page is transmitted through the hospital’s paging system to the department staff; (3) monitors displaying the department’s floor plan flash the location of the staff under duress; (4) security doors are unlocked to allow responding staff access to assist. This is just one example of the many ways the InSites Platform can “location-enable” the healthcare enterprise.
