Improving Operating Efficiency and Care
through Technology
The NexT Wave of RTLS
For tracking capital mobile assets,
hospitals increasingly are turning
to Real-time Location Services
(RTLS). SkyTrac Centralized Clinical
Inventory Management System
(CIMS) is the next wave of RTLS:
A real-time consumable assets
tracking system.
SkyTrac CIMS leverages RFID
and network technologies to track
and manage consumable assets.
You can view online the data
collected from RFID tags, readers
and smart cabinets and track
inventory throughout every
stage of care.
the advantageS of Supply chain viSibility
Now you can Control Costs and Improve Care at the Same Time
Controlling costs while maintaining high quality patient care is an ongoing
healthcare challenge. Skytron’s SkyTrac is an efficient inventory management
system that gives healthcare facilities complete SUPPLY CHAIN VISIBILITY to
create and maintain an effective cost-quality balance.
Supply chain visibility, coupled with business intelligence, will give your facilities
the tools needed to have the right products on hand when needed and give you
real-time information as to how and where they are being used. SkyTrac will
solve under- and overstocking, prevent shrinkage and help you to increase revenue
by tracking consumables at the patient point of care. SkyTrac even alerts you
to expired consumables; mitigating major regulatory and patient safety risks.

How It Works A smart tag is attached to item packaging or device.
Skytron’s SkyTrac smart cabinets with built-in RFID antennas and processors count inventory
every 30 minutes. Cabinets come in many configurations – standing bins, hanging cabinets
and mobile carts.
Use is captured at the point of care, rather than point of retrieval, for more accurate charge
capture and easier inventory reconciliation.
Automated replenishment is based on actual rate of product usage, expiration dates and
existing inventory.
Hospital Systems that have implemented SkyTrac Technology have saved over 500 staff hours
annually not having to count and reconcile inventory, reduced inventory by as much as 30%, identified
50% more missing and lost items and experienced savings of $350,000 to $750,000 per year by
simply buying differently and leveraging bulk pricing with the help of SkyTrac usage analytics.*
Seamless integration with HIS, EMR
and ERP systems for unilateral visibility
and elimination of redundant data entry
to increase operational efficiency.
optimized Workflow through the
elimination of manual data entry and
a reduction in the time it takes to retrieve
products during procedures resulting in
improved patient focus and service.
enhanced business intelligence at
the touch of a button including predictive
modeling, product usage cost analysis
with reporting and analytical abilities that
provide crucial decision support.
improved compliance made easier
from tissue tracking and implants
registration to continuous product inventory
and usage monitoring to ensure dated
products are compliant and satisfies
Joint Commission guidelines established
to improve patient safety.
increased efficiency smart cabinets identify
expiring and missing products and provide
alerts when products are removed,
streamlining re-ordering and rightsizing
inventory to reduce supply cost.
Inventory ControlSkyTrac’s online application gives you real time alerts for expired, missing and recalled items. With the
click of the mouse you can see what items are expired or are going to expire and where they are located.
You can change the date range to see up to 365 days out what will expire and when. We also give you
an alert if an item has been removed from the cabinet and is not used during a procedure. To date,
every new installation we have done, SkyTrac technology has found expired items sitting in inventory.
“ I tracked inventory pretty closely before, but there were
always a few products that were unaccounted for.
With WaveMark Technology, I know exactly what I have,
how much and when I need to reorder, and immediately
know if something is missing.” Raul navarro

Smart Ordering Assistance
SkyTrac’s smart ordering capability helps you manage
your purchasing behavior by giving you the data you
need to order only what you need, eliminating having
excess inventory on hand or not having enough of an
item when you need it. With SkyTrac, you have the ability
to set your own timeframes and parameters that work
best with your purchasing system.
AnalyticsSkyTrac’s analytic capability helps you right-size your inventory,
identify usage patterns, understand the real costs associated with room
turnover and have real-time access to all of your inventory positions.
