<\/p>\nHealthcare facilities have an equipment problem.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
In 1995, the average patient had eight medical devices at bedside. With advances in technology, by 2010 that number had grown to 13, and it continues to grow.<\/p>\n
Caregivers are busy with patients \u2013 they don\u2019t have time to catalog and track where expensive patient care and diagnostic assets are in a facility, and often equipment is unaccounted for. This presents problems:<\/p>\n
To ensure patient safety and protect the bottom line, more healthcare facilities are beginning to adopt automated asset management systems, or also called Real Time Location Strategy (RTLS). By creating a network of sensors and tags<\/a>, mobile medical equipment like ECGs, infusers, beds and wheelchairs can can be traced, catalogued and located in real time using RFID<\/a> technology: sensors placed throughout a facility recognize a tagged item as it passes by, logs its location and transmits that data to a central site. Some RFID<\/a> asset management software even offers app-based tracking and location, making finding the right equipment when and where it\u2019s needed as close as a healthcare worker\u2019s mobile device.<\/p>\n RFID improves patient safety, increases staff productivity, and reduces healthcare costs. And by enabling immediate location information of mobile equipment, RFID tags<\/a> encoded by BarTender can help make the right equipment available at the right time. BarTender’s simple, intuitive Intelligent Templates\u2122 are the heart of RTLS in healthcare, making encoding of RFID tags<\/a> is as easy as creating a barcode. Just select an RFID printer<\/a> on your network as your label\u2019s destination, and BarTender<\/a> does the work for you, from serialization to security and access.<\/p>\n BarTender enables seamless integration with most third-party asset management software packages, and provides the system interoperability that increases labeling<\/a> accuracy and improves efficiencies throughout the healthcare supply chain.<\/p>\n Article Credit – https:\/\/www.seagullscientific.com\/resources\/blog\/rfid-for-real-time-asset-tracking-in-healthcare\/<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Healthcare facilities have an equipment problem.
