Move patients faster — and stop hunting for pumps.
A hospital can’t see real-time patient flow through the ED, and clinical staff lose time every shift searching for mobile equipment. Utilisation is low, so the hospital over-buys and over-rents.
What the programme delivered.
Staff time per shift recoverable from searching.
Mobile-equipment utilisation after RTLS.
Asset loss avoidable — fewer rentals & re-buys.
Client identity withheld under confidentiality. Figures reflect outcomes from comparable RTLS/RFID deployments; your own numbers depend on use case, environment and execution.
The challenge
Clinical staff spend 30–60 minutes per shift searching for equipment; 10–20% of mobile assets go missing over their life; bottlenecks in patient flow are invisible until they bite.
Our approach
- BLE 5.x AoA / RTLS for equipment and, where appropriate, patient-flow milestones.
- Utilisation analytics to right-size the fleet and cut rentals.
- Bed-turn and ED milestone visibility for flow.
- Hand-hygiene / safety use cases as phase two.
- Integrate with EMR and biomed CMMS.
Technology & integration
Stack deployed: BLE 5.x AoA, UWB for high-accuracy zones, RAIN RFID for supply rooms.
Integration: Epic / Cerner (Oracle Health) / Meditech, biomed CMMS, capacity systems.
