Van 22 minuten zoeken naar minder dan 30 seconden om een pomp te vinden.
Een top-10 EU-ziekenhuisgroep verspreid over 14 acute locaties verloor klinische tijd en verhuurde apparatuur die het al bezat.
Waar ze tegenover stonden.
22 minuten verloren per dienst
Verpleegkundigen brachten ongeveer 22 minuten per dienst door met het zoeken naar infusiepompen, telemetrie-units en rolstoelen.
De huurkosten liepen op
Eigen apparatuur was niet te vinden, dus huurde de groep duplicaten om het gat op te vullen.
Geen gegevens voor biomed PM
Naleving van preventief onderhoud leed onder het ontbreken van betrouwbare locatie- of gebruiksgegevens.
Identiteit van de klant vertrouwelijk gehouden. De cijfers weerspiegelen resultaten van vergelijkbare RTLS/RFID-implementaties; uw eigen cijfers hangen af van use case, omgeving en uitvoering.
Leveranciersneutraal, resultaatgericht.
We voerden een leveranciersneutrale evaluatie uit over BLE, 5.x AoA en UWB, beoordeelden het klinische klimaat en het nauwkeurigheidsbudget, en ontwierpen vervolgens de anchor placement rond de echte klinische workflow.
De levering vond plaats in fasen op 14 locaties met integratie in Epic en het biomed CMMS.
Wat we hebben geleverd.
- BLE 5.x AoA verspreid over 8.400 getagde assets
- Integratie met Epic voor ED bed-state evenementen en het biomed CMMS
- Een verpleegkundige-gerichte zoek-een-pomp-app plus gebruiksanalyses voor biomed

De stapel erachter
Programmapatroon voor deze vertical
Hospital equipment RTLS usually starts with a critical fleet (infusion pumps, telemetry, beds, wheelchairs) on one wing or theatre complex, then standardises. BLE-AoA, ultrasound/IR clinical RTLS, or hybrid stacks are common; UWB appears where sub-room accuracy is justified.
Biomed utilisation and nurse find-workflows are the twin value drivers. PHI-minimised tag-centric design keeps privacy review manageable.
Governance, risico en wat we weigeren te claimen
Composite example only. Your payback depends on adoption, integration quality and exception labour — not tag unit cost. Named references under NDA on engagement.
We challenge any vendor who asks you to accept demo-day averages as production truth.
Implementatiesequentie en change management
Form a triad: nursing, biomed, IT/privacy. Lock equipment-only scope for phase 1. Survey the wing; choose BLE-AoA, clinical RTLS or hybrid based on workflow and infrastructure — not brochure accuracy.
Ship a nurse find UX on day one of pilot. Par exceptions must page biomed. Measure search minutes and utilisation weekly. Only then discuss patient-flow modules behind a BAA and DPIA-quality review.
Pressure-test BAA willingness, RBAC templates and audit export before award.
Koperschecklist, leveranciersuitdagingen en engagementvorm
For hospital equipment RTLS, refuse go-lives without a nurse-facing find workflow and biomed exception path.
Buyer checklist before you sign: (1) written system of record for events; (2) acceptance tests with 95th-percentile performance under real interference; (3) integration owner named in IT/OT; (4) privacy or labour consultation path if people are tagged; (5) cybersecurity zoning sketch; (6) five-year TCO including batteries, spares, recalibration and SLA escalations; (7) exit/export terms so you are not hostage to a cloud tenant; (8) a pilot that can fail without political punishment.
Vendor claims to challenge in this pattern: brochure accuracy without production load; 'compliance included' without artefacts; ROI that assumes perfect adoption in 30 days; references that cannot be called under NDA; install partners who have never worked your vertical's overlays; shared support accounts; and any design that dumps locating onto a flat plant or clinical VLAN.
How TRACIO typically engages: stage-1 architecture and measurement design; leveranciersneutraal shortlist and RFP language; pilot acceptance criteria; then optional implementation oversight or programme rescue if a prior pilot stalled. We stay independent of hardware margin. Composite pages like this one exist so you can prepare the workshop — your numbers replace every planning band when we model payback.
Risk register themes that recur: mute fatigue on alerts; shadow spreadsheets reappearing beside the platform; battery logistics understaffed; master data too weak to support identity; works-council or IG review starting too late; and success declared on demo day before night-shift reality.
Document baseline windows explicitly: what you measured, for how long, which shifts, and what you excluded. Investment committees and auditors both punish fuzzy before/after stories. If your baseline is weak, spend two to four weeks fixing measurement before ordering anchors or portals. That discipline is cheaper than a stranded deployment and is the difference between a locating programme and a technology souvenir.
