Hospitals lose millions of dollars due to the difficulty in managing mobile medical equipment. Hospital staff scatters across the hospital in search of wheel chairs creating delays in patient transport. Others search for a pulse-oximeter in a futile attempt to get a surgical procedure started on time. And others search in vain for IV pumps during flu season. Ultimately, patient care is delayed and compromised.
Many health care organizations combat the difficulty in locating equipment by purchasing or leasing more. Unfortunately, this costly approach is not effective in solving the problem. Although there is more, equipment remains difficult to find as it gets randomly distributed throughout the facility. Equipment costs go up dramatically, but equipment usage only goes up marginally.
CaraFlow can work with your organization to tailor a wireless equipment tracking solution that will save you money and labor. CaraFlow utilizes infra-red tracking technology to provide room-level accuracy in locating your equipment (see our white paper on IR vs RFID).
Our solution will help you:
- Improve your equipment utilization
- Reduce your overall equipment costs by eliminating unnecessary purchases, leases and rentals
- Set and monitor par levels for equipment in utility closets
- Locate equipment by type and room groups using our easy-to-use web reports (PDF and Excel export formats)
CaraFlow will work with your organization to develop an effective solution that meets your budgetary constraints. Whether you need every patient room tracked or simply your utility closets, we can develop a highly-effective tracking solution that will provide enormous returns.
