“Improving Performance Outcomes in Healthcare through Enhanced RTLS Solutions” Whitepaper
Healthcare is at a cross roads. The combination of economic downturn, reduced reimbursement rates, rising complexity of regulations, and uncertainty of the future has placed extra strain on hospital management, employees, and associated medical staff to accelerate their efforts to change.
This paper will discuss current trends in process improvement initiatives at hospitals and the role a single enterprise-wide real-time visibility platform can play in performance improvement by automatically capturing location and sensory data throughout the hospital and seamlessly integrating the information into the appropriate clinical or non-clinical system.
When asked to perform a “health screening” of an average hospital, you would most likely come back with a diagnosis of “chronic operational inefficiency.”
The symptoms of this syndrome are easy to detect, even by an inexperienced specialist in the field of Lean or Six Sigma. Thousands of assets, such as IV pumps, wheelchairs, and other medical equipment move constantly throughout the facility. How easy it is for staff to locate them, know their status, or the level of their utilization?
