Connected Hospitals
Background
A Real Time Location System (RTLS) enables hospitals to tag, track and manage medical equipment. It also knows the locations of doctors, staff, patients and visitors. Applications vary.
You might use one to quickly find critical assets and improve patient care and workflow. Or to ensure compliance with hand hygiene requirements and other policy or regulatory mandates. The technology can be adapted for multiple uses.
How your facility could benefit
Thirdwayv solutions deliver RTLS connectivity without requiring any investments in additional networking infrastructure.
Imagine your staff quickly and easily locating smart beds, soap dispensers, and other fixed assets. With the addition of supplemental, fixed gateways, they can also locate mobile assets — including medical imaging, monitoring, diagnostic and emergency equipment.
Used in conjunction with ID cards, the same solutions can help manage visitors. Wearable sensors know the location of infants, children, and adult patients as they move through the facility.
You stand to gain a level of insight, control, and compliance previously unavailable.
