Description: 170-bed acute care facility; major cardiac hospital, with an emergency department that sees close to 60,000 patients a year.

Challenge: High volume in ED and patient transfers from other facilities led to bottlenecks that delayed care and reduced revenue opportunities. Poor communication and manual tasks compromised direct care time.

Solution: Implemented Radianse real-time location platform, asset tracking and patient flow applications house-wide.

Benefits: Optimized resources, increased time for direct care, enhanced patient and staff safety and satisfaction, reduced search time for equipment and asset shrinkage

In their words:

“A hospital is a continuum, and no area is more important than another when you start thinking about improving patient throughput. We decided that we couldn’t just implement Radianse’s solution in one area, because if we did we would be missing a huge part of the overall picture of how patients move through our hospital.”

"We were really looking for something that will help us with our patient-capacity issues, patient turnover, patient throughput and staffing. This has really been an eye-opener.”
