RFID asset tracking

AeroScout, Inc. has implemented its Asset Management solution at the internationally renowned Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center (DHMC). The Wi-Fi RFID asset tracking and management solution increases the utilization of critical medical equipment, facilitates cleaning, maintenance and repair processes, and helps ensure prompt equipment availability for patient care. The medical center had hundreds of new “smart” infusion pumps on order and wanted to track them in real-time for improved inventory control and equipment utilization. Typically, to locate pumps, staff would have to physically roam the facility to find available items, which could take hours. The initial phase of the project, completed in January 2009, tracks approximately 500 of the new infusion pumps across multiple departments. (Ken Lee, RN, manager, Biomedical Engineering at DHMC.)
