March 14, 2008—The Women’s Hospital of Greensboro has chosen the RadarFind Real Time Location System (RTLS) to monitor the location and status of its mobile medical equipment, thereby improving patient care and the efficiency of hospital operations.
The indoor tracking system pinpoints the location of medical equipment throughout the hospital and displays this information via hospital staff’s computer screens.
By reducing the time spent searching for equipment, RadarFind’s new RTLS will enable the staff at The Womens Hospital of Greensboro to spend more time caring for patients. The system also gathers data about equipment utilization rates, serving as a powerful tool for hospital administrators to more accurately plan for new medical equipment purchases, often resulting in significant savings.
The RadarFind platform technology was designed by doctors specifically for hospitals after two years of intensive research with more than 50 hospitals, and is designed to integrate with existing hospital infrastructure and operations. RadarFind’s readers plug into existing electrical outlets, requiring no new wiring or ceiling or wall penetration and preserving the outlets for use by other devices. And unlike many other RTLS systems, RadarFind operates independently of a hospital’s critical WiFi network.
