Outcomes
Implementing an accurate hospital-wide Real Time Location System favorably impacts:
Patient Safety
Less time spent searching for equipment means more quality care time with patients...and more favorable outcomes.
By accessing critical care equipment faster, nurses can immediately respond to patient emergency situations.
Higher Nurse to Patient Ratios and
More Time with Patients
= Reduced Mortality Rates
RadarFind's unique 3-position status tag (below) -- the only RTLS tag developed exclusively for health care -- further supports patient safety efforts by identifying the status of critical care equipment (whether equipment is clean and available for use, equipment is already in-use with a patient, or equipment is not available for use--needs to be cleaned/disinfected).
The system determines immediately whether equipment is:
DIRTY/UNAVAILABLE
or
IN-USE WITH A PATIENT
or
CLEAN/AVAILABLE FOR PATIENT USE
- Patient care staff can readily access clean devices and avoid using contaminated equipment to reduce healthcare-acquired infections (HAIs).
- RadarFind's location history capability also supports monitoring best practice models for disinfection/ decontamination of medical equipment.
- Facilitating the PM process for clinical engineering assures medical equipment is properly maintained on schedule.
- Patient safety is further ensured when immediately locating recalled patient care equipment.
Patient Transport
Reducing wait times and gridlock streamlines the entire patient flow process.
One North Carolina hospital conducted a patient flow study and determined that using RadarFind tags on their wheelchairs reduced patient transport times by 71%!
