Asset Management RTLS

Hospitals often struggle to determine the optimal size of their mobile equipment fleet due to a lack of clear utilization data. Relying on guesswork or anecdotal feedback can lead to overspending or shortages. Real-time location systems (RTLS) for asset management provide the solution. By tracking equipment location and usage in real-time, RTLS offers a comprehensive view of equipment workflow. This granular data allows hospitals to pinpoint bottlenecks and inefficiencies. For example, if RTLS reveals that infusion pumps frequently sit idle in soiled equipment closets, the hospital can adjust its cleaning and collection process. This faster turnaround time gets the pumps back into service more quickly, boosting their utilization rate and potentially reducing the need to purchase additional pumps. Ultimately, RTLS empowers hospitals to make data-driven decisions about equipment needs, optimizing their fleet size and reducing costs.
