What is it really about ? RTLS is not only about location and events

What is it really about ? RTLS is not only about location and events It is about: • Providing and communicating relevant information to and from people and objects • Communicating one to many, many to one, tag to person, tag to tag, person to tag, etc. • Driving actionable events which are communicated and/or escalated and responded to based on event, severity, type, time, motion, location, sensor, etc. • Events initiated by tags, buttons, sensors, people, computers, telephones, PDA’s, cell-phones, etc. all forming the “RTLS Grid” that communicates.

What else can Wi-Fi RTLS do for my hospital ? • An RTLS system

What else can Wi-Fi RTLS do for my hospital ? • An RTLS system is not just limited to “finding things” or alerting when something exits the door, a properly planned deployment and execution can automate many manual processes and reduce human error. Examples include: – Managing and automating equipment inventories, par levels, preventive maintenance – Automatically capture time and motion for outpatient visits, surgeries, lab procedures etc. to measure and manage based on process visibility. • A properly deployed RTLS system can be used across the entire enterprise and leverage the economies of scale of hospital-wide implementations on a “cost per tracked item” model.
