The staying power of an RTLS installation depends on its scalability. Different facilities require different applications and not all will have the same baseline measurements. Scalable, flexible solutions will help hospitals to grow and prepare master plans that can produce results.
Planning for a Real Time Location System (RTLS) implementation involves much more than the selection of RTLS hardware and software. For facilities to optimize the value of RTLS, it is imperative to bring key stakeholders (clinical staff including nurse managers) into the planning process at an early stage to determine the facility’s vision and to document objectives for the project.
A recent National Nurses United survey conducted with 15,000 U.S. registered nurses found that 20% reported increased workplace violence due to decreased staff levels, different patient populations, and changing visitation restrictions set during the pandemic.
Real Time Location System (RTLS) is a technology solution typically used to automatically identify or track assets in a given area in real time.
