Hospital Asset Tracking

In healthcare environments, it is critical to manage hospital assets efficiently. The use of hospital asset-tracking software paired with battery-powered asset-tracking devices allows for increases in patient safety. From wheelchairs and portable monitors to surgical tools and mobile stations, the range of medical equipment that benefits from precise tracking is extensive. 

Importance of Hospital Equipment Tracking Technology

Hospital assets are vital for daily operations and patient care. Misplaced or stolen equipment can lead to significant operational disruptions and financial losses. Implementing a robust hospital asset tracking system, equipped with precise indoor tracking technology, is crucial. Using the latest technology, maximizing battery life and real-time data insights ensure that all assets are accounted for and in their proper place. 

Importance of a Healthcare Asset Tracking System

Delays in healthcare facility operations are commonly caused by staff taking extended periods to locate equipment. With nurses spending around 6,000 hours a month searching for medical equipment. Healthcare asset tracking systems allow staff to locate medical equipment instantaneously, allowing nurses to save time. Healthcare asset tracking systems also give visibility into which healthcare assets are being utilized and allow hospital staff to quickly identify where medical equipment is under-utilized.

IoT in Healthcare Asset Management

IoT plays a huge role in optimizing hospital asset management, and overall inventory management. IoT allows for equipment to be located faster and can ensure that stock levels are never low. Automating inventory management with IoT can eliminate errors in order processing. This removes human error and allows hospitals to know exactly what items are low and can order accordingly—leading to a more streamlined and effective inventory management system. 

Challenges in Hospital Asset Management

Managing hospital assets effectively is difficult without a reliable asset management solution. Healthcare organizations tend to have issues with misplaced or stolen hospital equipment, leading to inefficiencies. With medical equipment being difficult to find it becomes very costly, with significant financial losses if this equipment cannot be recovered leading to delayed care for patients. The lack of real-time visibility makes it difficult to know the location or status of essential equipment, this can lead to under-utilization of critical assets. Healthcare asset tracking is critical for ensuring a robust inventory management system. The real-time visibility provided by asset tracking solutions proves to be invaluable in maintaining effective healthcare operations.
