For hospitals RTLS Solutions for Hospitals


By nature, hospitals are chaotic environments. With countless number of people and items moving about and interacting with one another all day every day, keeping track of it is daunting. Simple things, such as finding a staff member, patient, or piece of equipment, consume staff time and increase patient wait times. Bottlenecks, created by poor turn-around and inefficient patient flow in ED and OR rooms, in-patient beds, out-patient exam rooms, and procedure areas, create a ripple effect through the entire facility.  The fact is, there are many different areas that could quickly benefit if only people understood what was happening and could get access to timely information.


It is for these exact reasons that the InSites Enterprise Visibility Platform™ was developed for hospitals. By providing an easy way to collect data and by delivering a convenient way to make the information easy to use, healthcare organizations can improve how they operate and consequently deliver a better level of care to their patients. As every hospital has different areas of need, and different systems and processes in place, the InSites solution is able to address a wide spectrum of healthcare needs. So rather than using separate applications to solve niche needs, you can choose a software platform that would be able to address needs in the order you want and provide you flexibility over time to continue solving more and more issues.


Through the InSites “Essential” applications hospitals are able to more effectively manage their processes such as asset management or temperature monitoring, but just as importantly, clients are able to incorporate the data from the InSites Platform into their existing solutions to make them even better. Imagine an ED Work Flow application that could tell you what rooms are available and the status of your patients – without someone having to manually enter that data, or that your existing asset management application displayed the exact location of every piece of equipment and how much time it had been in use. Pretty cool!

The specific uses and applications vary by client, but the common deliverable is that InSites’ clients have visibility into every corner of their organization and are able to optimize their operations in a way they were unable to do before. The results are pretty impressive…
