Helping healthcare do more through real-time visibility
There is a growing expectation for hospital management teams to do more with less. By using the Fusion Healthcare Platform to integrate CenTrak’s enterprise location services with Static Systems’ nurse call systems, this requirement can go some way to being fulfilled.
CenTrak is recognised as the leading provider of real-time location systems. Its second generation infra-red technology is used widely to locate patients, staff and assets with 100% room and bed-level accuracy.
Over 1,700 healthcare facilities throughout the US, Asia, Europe, Australia and the Middle East are currently using CenTrak technology.
CenTrak’s enterprise location and visibility services lead to rapid improvements in the following areas:-
Asset Tracking & Management
Staff members can locate, in real-time, any item critical to patient need. CenTrak offers the most accurate locating system available that also delivers condition updates and second-by-second interactions with staff and patients.
Nurse Call Automation
Data contained in badges worn behind or in front of hospital ID badges gathers essential staff location information (Staff Presence) to assist with expediting emergency actions and streamlining communication between patients and staff.
Clinical Operations and Workflow
Inefficient manual tracking systems can be replaced with an automated system providing patient location, triage information, who is being discharged, who is receiving imaging services and many other hospital departmental occurrences.
Patient Safety
With location services in healthcare, patients no longer need to be restricted to their room or ward area. Moreover, staff know exactly where patients are, which prevents them from wandering into dangerous or restricted areas.
Temperature & Environmental Monitoring
Maintaining correct storage conditions conducive to infection control and diagnostic sample viability is essential to providing optimised patient care. A wireless environmental and temperature monitoring solution offers superior and accurate detection of even the slightest changes in environmental conditions.
Hand Hygiene Compliance Monitoring - Improving hand hypiene compliance utilising an RTLS system can help hospitals reduce Healthcare Associated Infections (HAIs) and their associated costs. Reporting true compliance rates to hand hygiene protocols and offering reminders to staff in real-time provides a cost-effective means to increasing patient safety.
Security & Protection
CenTrak Security Solutions combine the most accurate RTLS with industry-leading hospital staff security solutions to ensure healthcare facilities can instantly determine when and where help is needed to respond quickly.
Infant Protection
Infants wear small tags that communicate continuously with staff to provide location visibility, prevent abductions, and support correct mother-baby matching. Types of tags include ankle band and umbilical attachment tags.
Medical Scope Management & Infection Control
CenTrak’s clinical-grade visibility technology provides staff with the ability to track the usage, cleaning cycle and storage of information for medical scopes in use. Vital to ensuring healthcare facilities remain as sterile and pathogen-free as possible, accurate medical scope management also minimises costs due to lost equipment, whilst streamlining clinical workflow and communication.
CenTrak’s clinical-grade RTLS solutions also tracks and manages unsterile utensils and surgical trays by location and there current stage in the sterilisation process.
Wayfinding
Navigating a hospital can be confusing and stressful for patients and staff. Wayfinding solutions make it easier to find the required destination.
