Starting on Time
"Surgeons were waiting for essential equipment to be found before procedures could begin. Nurses were typically charged with hunting and gathering, which took them away from direct patient care. And we wanted to intervene before patient wait times became too long."
Michael Fraai,
Director Biomedical Engineering PinnacleHealth
Saving Time
"Already we can see that real-time Asset Utilization is going to save a lot of time. There are a lot of reasons to need to find equipment. We had to dedicate staff for an hour or two to hunt for recalled devices and do preventive maintenance. Now they can walk over to the computer. What once took hours takes seconds."

Achieve Immediate Efficiency Gains
Radianse Reveal Asset Utilization lets you track hospital equipment easily and immediately to room-level accuracy. You can also use this hospital real-time location system (RTLS) to know whether the right medical devices are available (clean, functional, etc.) to meet specific needs.
Track every kind of hospital asset that's essential to patient care and clinical effectiveness, from infusion pumps to wheelchairs, telemetry transmitters to defibrillators – even patient monitoring cables.
Active-RFID tags, a simple web Fast Find interface, and the intelligence of the Radianse RTLS help you reduce asset shrinkage, search time and the need for excess rental equipment. RTLS-enabled assety tracking also contributes to improved asset utilization and JCAHO compliance. With a Radianse RTLS in your hospital, equipment management is streamlined. Expect a return on investment in months.

Asset Utilization - Medical Equipment Management
The right equipment in the right place at the right time
Equipment management is a 24/7 proposition in healthcare. Hospital Asset Utilization powered by a Radianse RTLS reduces the risk of patient care "downtime." Biomedical engineers, technicians and others with asset management responsibilities use a hospital RTLS to find what they need when they need it. Routine service calls, a medical device recall, preventive maintenance—or a sudden spike in capacity needs that requires additional resources—are among the reasons hospitals appreciate the real-time visibility of the Radianse Asset Utilization application for healthcare.
Hospitals across the U.S. depend on a Radianse RTLS and hospital Asset Utilization to better manage equipment as varied as patient beds, portable monitors and cabinet keys.

Reduce excess purchases and rentals
Radianse Reveal Asset Utilization supports your ability to make informed investment decisions. A utilization report can be automatically created based on knowing when, where and how often particular healthcare equipment is used.
This accurate view of actual usage leads to reductions in equipment rental and leasing programs, and the associated costs. Equally important, you have the information necessary to acquire and stock the right number of devices to meet patient care needs.
The ability to find equipment when it's needed ends the practice of care team members stashing essential medical devices.
With a Radianse active-RFID tag on every device, you can know if equipment is being used or "forgotten" in a hallway, waiting for service or in storage.
