RFID Asset Tracking in the Hospital
Better Manage Your Assets in the Hospital
For hospitals, knowing where it’s assets are is essential for business operations. Having visibility to location of an asset can be simplified with RFID technology. Beyond the tracking, have a solidified management of assets can be achieved including asset repair/ maintenance and asset utilization.
How it works
1. Tag Items
RFID tags are attached to assets. Depending on the type of asset, an RFID label, on metal tag or specialty RFID tag be may be used. The hidden benefit of RFID is that RFID tags also provides serialization for each asset.
2. Establish Read Zones
Depending on visibility requirements, create RFID read zones at strategic locations within your facility to pick up asset information as they move throughout your facility. In addition, use RFID handhelds to conduct cycle counts and audits of the facility
3. Harness the Data
Harness the data – as you collect information on asset positioning and movement, understand asset utilization. Better equip key areas with assets so personnel are not taking time searching at times of need.
Valuable Workflows
Asset positioning
Use RFID technology, including overhead devices and portal readers to capture movement of assets throughout a facility. Use intelligence to map out asset movement and positioning. Take advantage of software to view graphically through dashboarding capabilities.
Cycle Counts / Audits
Use RFID to quickly, efficiently and accurately conduct cycle counts and audits. With RFID, bulk scan RFID tags to cutdown on manual counting efforts. Understand variances right away and take action.
