Exclusive Endorsement For AeroScout Solutions
American Hospital Association (AHA) Solutions announced an exclusive endorsement of AeroScout's Wi-Fi-based active RFID tracking system, which helps hospitals track and manage the location, movement and status of patients, caregivers and vital hospital equipment, allowing hospitals to improve patient care and patient experience as well as reduce costs.
In response to hospital interests, AHA identified tracking systems as an integral element of a new platform of products and services geared to improve operational efficiencies related to patient flow and patient-centred care. AeroScout was chosen for endorsement by AHA after an extensive review and market analysis of the vendors and technologies for RFID and location tracking.
"AeroScout's use of the Wi-Fi standard for asset and patient tracking provides tremendous benefits to hospitals, especially those who need a scalable solution to cover large numbers of equipment and people," said Andy Schoneich, Assistant VP, AHA Solutions. "AeroScout has demonstrated that their solutions can help improve patient care, decrease waste, increase efficiency and bring financial savings to hospitals."
The system uses Wi-Fi networks to deliver accurate, reliable and real-time information about the location and status of any patient, staff member or mobile items such as medication pumps, wheelchairs or defibrillators. This information can be used to quickly find a needed person or item, create asset utilisation reports, trigger automated alerts or interface with a wide variety of healthcare IT systems - all providing valuable information for optimising hospital operations. The use of Wi-Fi-based active RFID, pioneered by AeroScout, allows hospitals to easily and quickly install a Real-Time Location Solution (RTLS).
"We are extremely pleased to be exclusively endorsed by the AHA as the recommended Wi-Fi solution for deploying asset and patient tracking across healthcare enterprises," said Yuval Bar-Gil, CEO & Co-Founder, AeroScout. "The market has already embraced the tremendous value that Wi-Fi-based asset and patient tracking solutions can provide, and we look forward to working with AHA to continue this success within the healthcare community."
AeroScout's products, which include a suite of software, active RFID tags and other components, were developed to suit a broad range of healthcare facility sizes and types. This includes coverage for both indoor and outdoor areas, as well as providers that integrate multiple facilities with varied patient and service mixes. The AeroScout system enables a wide variety of advanced location applications, including but not limited to emergency call-button alerting to temperature monitoring, preventive maintenance reporting and wander prevention for adults. This breadth of coverage and experience was one of AHA's deciding factors in choosing AeroScout. |
