Medical facilities are under constant pressure to handle increasing patient volumes while meeting higher expectations for quality care and carefully balancing operating budgets.
To meet these challenges, IoT-enabled asset tracking solutions deliver powerful benefits for better use of resources and time, while promoting substantial cost savings.
Average time that a hospital worker spends searching for assets
Average loss per item from stolen or lost mobile assets
Estimated amount of missing or misplaced hospital inventory yearly
A real-time location system (RTLS) solution is vital for tracking medical assets, which can help you improve operations, stay compliant, and reduce operating costs. Since security is integral for protecting sensitive patient records and hospital data, our solution circumvents the hospital’s corporate, on-premise Wi-Fi network - drastically reducing the risk of potential exposure to vulnerabilities.
