Hill-Rom® Asset Tracking Solution Did you know? More than $1.8 billion per year is spent on nurses simply looking for pumps for patients.1 Nurses spend an average of one hour per shift searching for equipment.2 Biomedical engineers spend up to 40% of their time looking for equipment and cannot find equipment up to 20% of the time.3 Hill-Rom’s premier asset tracking technology uses the best of IR and RF technologies to enable an easy-to-use equipment location solution. The combination of IR and RF technologies allows hospitals to accurately view equipment location at the room or bed level and reliably transmit location data to servers for use in reports and to visually see on-screen where your equipment is in real-time. RF technology can also be used to transmit information such as unauthorized tag removal, configuration changes and tag battery life. With the Hill-Rom® Asset Tracking Solution, you have the ability to re-use the same infrastructure for multiple types of locating such as Hand-Hygiene, Temperature Monitoring, Staff Locating, and Patient Locating. Maximize your hospital investment by purchasing a scalable technology that allows you to invest in what your hospital needs now and grow as your hospital needs change in the future.
