Versus Technology, Inc. Announces Successful Implementation of Automatic Hospital Tracking System at Anne Arundel Medi...(e or escort to find equipment shifted ac...),Health

"In order for an asset tracking system to be useful, your staff have to be able to trust that they are looking at real-time results of where that asset is located at the moment," said Constantineau. "We tried several location systems on our wireless network, one for over a year and a half, but we couldn't get them to work correctly. We'd seen several systems fail, so I was very leery going into our asset tracking pilot with Versus -- but the system worked like a charm. We tried to get the system to read wrong, but it wouldn't break. We've never had an issue with Versus and the nursing staff love it."

The next steps at AAMC include expanding asset tracking to further enhance hospital efficiency and equipment monitoring while pushing forward a number of preventative maintenance goals. In January, the medical center will implement Versus Reports Plus(TM) software to establish equipment baselines for clinical areas, conduct an equipment flow study, and create a model for equipment storage. AAMC also plans to conduct a telemetry patient tracking pilot, integrate the location information to the nurse call system, and add staff locators to automate processes across the hospital.

"Working with Anne Arundel provided Versus the opportunity to demonstrate the accuracy and ease of use of our dual IR and active RFID system over other less accurate Wi-Fi systems," says Paul Timmerman, Versus' VP of Business Development. "We know our tracking system works; that physicians, nurses, and clinicians can depend on it. Versus is the most experienced RTLS vendor in the industry, with hundreds of clients and thousands of caregivers relying on our system 24/7. We look forward to assisting Anne Arundel with facility-wide location information to positively transform their healthcare delivery network."
