7 Ways to Improve Healthcare Asset Management with RTLS
Many hospitals use RTLS to answer one healthcare asset management question: “Where’s our stuff?” Discover ways to maximize the value of RTLS investments.
For more than two decades, hospitals have been relying on Real-Time Location System (RTLS) solutions to improve quality, safety and efficiency. The original use—and still one of the most popular—is for healthcare asset tracking. But that’s only one example of how hospitals can put RTLS to work.
Healthcare Asset Tracking Should Go Beyond “Where’s Our Stuff?”
A growing number of hospitals are tapping into RTLS to address safety and efficiency goals. They’re using RTLS to monitor and improve the flow of patients and clinicians, to safeguard infants and children throughout their campuses, and to strengthen protection for their staff.
