Our solution is enormously helpful, as real-time location data focusses on helping hospitals in the moment.
To eliminate these delays, Wi-Fi-enabled sensor in a bracelet or a badge worn by patients, providers and equipment. The sensors ping receivers installed around the hospital as people and devices move, and those signals are sent to a software platform that offers visual tracking of sensors around the facility.
It’s also not helpful to just know where a patient or a provider is if you don’t have an effective way to communicate with the rest of the care team about the patient’s progress through the operating care episode.
Hospitals also face slow OR turnaround times because teams are scattered while environmental services, who clean the rooms, may not be promptly notified. These delays compound throughout the day as providers lose sight of patients who may be moved to a different area of the hospital for additional blood tests or imaging studies.
Trying to communicate with care teams is also inefficient. Although several physicians use mobile health in their practices, looping in the entire OR team is more difficult because there are various members, roles and communications equipment as well as HIPAA concerns with mobile devices.
The entire process of the patient from admission to the end of the operation is controlled by the system, which is capable of displaying the necessary and appropriate information to each person so that they can carry out their work as quickly and efficiently as possible.
Therefore, when the operating theatre changes the patient’s status, the porters are immediately alerted to transfer the patient, and the cleaning team is notified so that they can get the operating theatre ready again.
