How iAssets RTLS tracking works in healthcare

RTLS (Real-Time Location System) uses active tags and a network of sensors to continuously track the location of medical equipment, staff, and other assets in real time. Unlike passive RFID, RTLS provides live, continuous location updates, enabling a more detailed view of asset movement throughout your facility – including hospitals, community care environments, and virtual wards.

Key components of RTLS tracking

Active RTLS tags

These battery-powered tags are attached to equipment or other assets, and regularly transmit location signals, allowing continuous real-time tracking.

Wi-Fi access points(AP) with built in Bluetooth (BLE)

Receive Bluetooth sensor information from RTLS tags. No AP with BLE, use fixed and mobile (4G or Ethernet) locators.

Centralised iAssets platform

Our iAssets software receives the RTLS data, enabling staff to monitor asset location, status, usage, and maintenance needs.

Pay-as-you-grow: scalable tracking solutions

Whether youโ€™re a small community care provider or part of a larger network, iAssets offers flexible and scalable solutions. Start small and expand as your needs growโ€”our platform adapts to your unique requirements.

FAQs

The primary function of the iAssets RTLS tracking solution is to provide comprehensive asset tracking across healthcare environments, from critical care medical devices to patient transport aids, all within a single, cloud-based platform. This system allows healthcare providers to gain a holistic view of their assets, leveraging their existing Wi-Fi infrastructure (or GPS/BLE technology) for efficient management.

Implementing iAssets RTLS tracking offers several key benefits, including fast implementation by utilising existing Wi-Fi or BLE locators, seamless integration through a centralised platform, and low start-up costs with a flexible pay-as-you-grow model. The system also provides valuable insights through data analytics and reporting, saves time for nursing staff by reducing equipment search time, and improves patient flow by efficiently managing equipment turnover.

iAssets RTLS tracking offers various benefits within a hospital setting. It helps with efficient bed management in large facilities by tracking movable assets and streamlines leased equipment management, ensuring timely returns and preventing ongoing charges. This technology also reduces the time nurses spend searching for equipment, improving staff workflows, and assists in syringe pump tracking to prevent misplacement and over-purchasing.

Additionally, iAssets RTLS tracking is particularly useful for equipment that may leave the hospital with a patient, such as those used in home healthcare or palliative care. In these hybrid scenarios, iAssets can integrate with GPS tracking technology to provide continuous visibility of these assets, ensuring they are maintained, accounted for, and returned when needed.

iAssets employs a hybrid tracking approach that combines Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE), GPS, and Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) to offer enhanced flexibility and accuracy. This combination allows for comprehensive coverage, seamless transition between indoor and outdoor tracking, versatility in tracking various assets, and enhanced accuracy by using the most suitable technology for different environments.

Choosing iAssets RTLS tracking for healthcare facilities provides advantages such as effortless scalability to accommodate both small clinics and large hospital networks, enhanced operational efficiency through reduced equipment loss and improved patient flow, and improved patient care by ensuring the timely availability of critical medical devices. Additionally, it offers cost savings by minimising equipment loss, reducing over-purchasing, and extending asset lifecycles.

RTLS technology significantly improves overall efficiency in healthcare environments by enabling real-time tracking of assets, which reduces the time staff spend searching for equipment and streamlines various operational processes. This leads to better resource allocation, improved staff productivity, and enhanced workflow management across the facility.

RTLS technology plays a crucial role in enhancing patient care and safety by ensuring that critical medical devices are readily available when and where they are needed, which allows for faster and more effective care delivery. Additionally, RTLS can improve patient flow within the facility, reducing delays in treatment and ensuring that patients receive timely attention.

RTLS technology is versatile and can effectively track a wide range of assets in healthcare settings, including critical care medical devices like ventilators and infusion pumps, mobile patient transport aids such as wheelchairs and gurneys, and high-value IT equipment like laptops and tablets. The system can also monitor the location and status of leased equipment, ensuring timely returns and preventing unnecessary charges.

The integration of different tracking technologies, such as BLE, GPS, and RFID, provides healthcare providers with a more comprehensive and flexible solution for asset tracking, allowing for seamless tracking both indoors and outdoors. This hybrid approach ensures continuous visibility of assets across various locations, improves accuracy, and supports a wide range of tracking needs within the healthcare environment.

Healthcare facilities can realise substantial financial benefits by implementing RTLS tracking systems, primarily through the reduction of equipment loss and over-purchasing, as well as the optimisation of asset utilisation. These systems help to minimise the costs associated with replacing lost or misplaced equipment and ensure that resources are used efficiently, contributing to significant cost savings.
