Temperature Monitoring Solution for Hospitals

A hospital may have hundreds of refrigerators, freezers, and warming cabinets which contain temperature-sensitive items such as pharmaceuticals, blood, specimens, or food. A malfunction, human oversight, or something as simple as leaving the door ajar can cause temperatures to go outside acceptable levels. The result can lead to compromised patient safety, increased hospital expenses, and even expose liability. To manage these risks, hospitals apply manpower by tasking staff with monitoring and logging temperatures periodically each day. While a workable solution, it takes caregivers away from their primary responsibilities and opens the door for human error.

But what if you could…

Our clients realize value every single day, and they do it because the temperature monitoring solution from Intelligent InSites provides them with not only the technology platform but also the process expertise and methodologies to resolve these issues and achieve the quantifiable results that are demanded.

With InSites you will be able to:

Know precisely if and when “out-of-range” temperatures occur

Stuff happens… power goes out, doors don’t get shut tightly, or a refrigerator fails. The result, if not acted upon quickly enough, is that valuable items spoil, ultimately costing time and money. No one wants to replace medications or restart patient treatments because of a situation that could have been avoided. Our clients tell us that a single failure where medications need to be discarded could easily cost $20,000. With the InSites solution, consistently monitoring for appropriate temperatures the risk of these situations is greatly diminished, as are all the negative consequences, and costs that go along with them.

Quickly take, and properly log corrective actions

Knowing and responding to a situation when it occurs isn’t enough. You need to be able to make sure that you have the documentation surrounding the event to prove that you responded correctly. With the InSites solution, you are able to react when needed and to document those actions accurately. Plus, we’ll automate the data collection for you! Back that up with easy to read reports, graphs, and simple to use “corrective action” documentation and this whole experience just got a lot simpler. Regulatory compliance just got a lot easier.

Remove unsafe or spoiled items to ensure patient safety

Sometimes it happens – a refrigerator fails and regardless of all efforts, temperature-sensitive items, such as pharmaceuticals, need to be discarded because they’ve been outside of acceptable thresholds for too long. Not a good situation, but at least you know about it, and can deal with it with confidence that you are acting with the best care of your patients in mind. It’s certainly a whole lot better than having someone treated with a medication that could hurt them, or doesn’t work. Talk about risk mitigation.

Give your staff more time to focus on what’s important – patient care

Let staff get back to what they need to be doing instead of running around checking and logging temperatures. Our clients, by passively collecting data, free up their staff time so they can attend to patients and perform other tasks. We call this converting Non-Value-Added Time to Value-Added Time. The outcome - increased staff efficiency and satisfaction, and we bet that if you wanted, you could even tie this back to a financial savings!

At Intelligent InSites, we are focused on helping you realize REAL OUTCOMES to REAL SITUATIONS. There is a lot of value, but we know you need to be able to prove how any investment delivers a return. Our team focuses on this during all stages of our engagement with our clients. Interested in learning more? We’d love to be able to walk you through the Six Steps to the Real-Time Enterprise and determine where that bottom line impact is for you.
