Asset Tracking in Healthcare

Hospital Asset Tracking

AiRISTA Flow’s Unified Vision Solution is an RTLS platform to help solve challenges of managing assets in a healthcare setting. 

  • Healthcare providers lack sufficient equipment to meet the needs of the floor or department
  • Lack of equipment specialists delays delivery of equipment
  • There is typically more than enough equipment for each patient, but in the wrong place
  • A lack of trust around equipment management leads to hoarding
  • Inefficient management of maintenance leads to shortages
  • Lack of reporting and alerting to PAR-level adherence 

 

With AiRISTA Flow’s RTLS solution, assets are managed via useful dashboards with direct access to maps, equipment status and other relevant information. The solution leverages your existing WiFi infrastructure.

Efficient Utilization of IV Pumps

The AiRISTA Flow RTLS solution was deployed by a hospital to increase asset utilization rates for IV pumps

  • Utilization rates increased from 32% to 65% 
  • Reduction in IV pump purchase from 1200 to 780 devices.

 

Utilization statistics show the average hospital requires an average of 2.5 IV pumps per room, well more than one extra per pump in use. And if asked, most clinical staff would want more.

Due to inefficient maintenance management, hoarding, “lost”, and non-strategic placement, utilization rates in the low 30% range are accepted.

Customer Experience

A 380 bed regional medical center with a pre RTLS deployment inventory of 1200 IV pumps with an in-use rate of 30%.

  • After deployment of the AiRISTA Flow solution, the “in-use” rate increased to 65%
  • The most recent IV pump purchase was reduced to 780 IV pumps resulting in a savings greater than $1MM.
