Among the unique challenges faced by hospitals in the management of capital assets is that so many of them, from Infusion Pumps to Beds to OR tables, are on wheels. In any hospital corridor, equipment is either moving from one place to another, or parked along the wall waiting to go somewhere. Finding a needed piece of equipment can take a healthcare provider precious minutes. In a typical hospital day, these lost minutes can add up to hours of lost productivity.
With SynTrack™ for Healthcare you can use Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology to efficiently manage hospital staff and equipment. SynTrack lets healthcare organizations benefit from improved asset management, which helps to reduce costs and improve patient care. SynTrack uses RFID tags to track the location of assets in real time, so that your staff can immediately locate any tracked asset on any of your campuses. The time saved can now be focused on improving the quality of patient care.
The SynTrack for Healthcare application offers a powerful framework, capable of supporting multiple RFID and Automatic Data Collection technologies. Its architecture offers scalability and enables smooth integration to enterprise systems.
