RTLS systems in healthcare – RipplesIPS RTLS patient tracking systems can help measure patient waiting times, also used for remotely monitoring high-value medical assets providing insights on usage patterns and damages. Ripples RTLS patient tracking in hospitals, orthopedic surgical workflow deploys indoor positioning beacons that continuously monitor and log the data about the moving assets it is attached to.

The Role of Patient Tracking Systems in Improving Hospital Workflow and Patient Safety

Today surgeries have become inevitable to curb medical cases and have become a daily schedule in hospitals as life-threatening diseases and accidents are alarmingly increasing. This has put operation theaters in high demand making it tough for healthcare providers to maintain hygienic conditions without deploying smart patient tracking devices.

On average, an operation theater will have 5-8 occupancy and an equipment load of 5-7 KW which contributes to room temperature significantly. If the hospital is applying for certifications like JCI, NABH, etc. the operation theater conditions, like temperature, have to be maintained at certain levels e.g. for NABH, OT temperature has to be maintained at 21 Degree Celsius +/- 3 degrees Celsius. In most OT a thermometer is kept and reading is taken manually which increases the chances of errors to improve infection control using healthcare in IoT and Digital twin solutions

Patient tracking with RTLS systems in healthcare

During these economic conditions, monitoring patient experience, reducing patient waiting times, and safety aspects matter the most. To provide better patient care, the use of medical equipment is inevitable for healthcare providers. To enable medical diagnosis healthcare providers invest millions in procuring high-quality medical devices like MRI, X-Ray, Ultrasound Scanner, etc. Any damage to this equipment will result in a huge loss of revenue and affect patient care. Locating portable equipment improves hospital efficiency, and staff productivity and reduces patient wait times and healthcare workflows

Damages to this medical equipment can happen due to misuse, abuse of equipment, or the condition in which they are operated and maintained. Most of these damages are concealed and go unnoticed. It becomes hard to prove whether the damage was due to a manufacturing defect, damage during transportation and installation, or damage caused at the hospital. The lack of availability of proper data to prove damage affects insurance and warranty claims. All these emphasize the importance of robust medical equipment tracking & monitoring solutions.

RTLS patient tracking solutions in hospitals for the surgical workflow process

What is the best platform for IoT?  A ready-to-deploy solution, which can be integrated with existing hospital information systems, whereby seamless information exchange can happen on the availability of staff, capacity utilization, patient queue management, workflow patterns, etc. The system can also provide instant alerts on temperature and humidity. We deploy wireless tags for asset, workforce & patient wait times tracking, wheelchair tracking, and sensors for temperature, movement, non-contact attendance, and panel open and close
