Transforming Healthcare with Information technology

Improvising Healthcare using Wireless Technology.

Impetech’s – Next generation HMIS

Managing Staff Workflow

• Improve work flow of nursing staff

ID badges with a radio frequency identification (RFID) tag that works with the hospital’s Wi-Fi network. The tags track the movement of nurses throughout their shift.

Tracking Medical Equipment

• Wireless RFID technology now allows hospitals to track not only the real-time location of critical equipment, but also the status or condition of the equipment.

• For example: it is possible to know if an item is in use or idle, or if it has gone through the sterilization process.

• This eliminates hours of searching and allows clinicians and nursing staff to focus on caring for patients

Automating Environmental Monitoring

• By attaching sensors to wireless RFID tags that can send temperature or humidity data over Wi-Fi.

• Hospitals can record temperatures at regular intervals and be automatically alerted if conditions exceed a predetermined range.

• This translates into tremendous cost savings because it helps prevent spoilage of expensive tissue or medicines or failure of servers, and it supports compliance and reporting

Increasing Security

• Infant protection system to help prevent child abductions . Protects more than 1.5 million infants worldwide each year.

• ID badges with an integrated RFID tag.

• Whenever a staff member enters a patient’s room, her photo, name and job function appears on the patient’s in-room screen.

• This allows the patient to easily and positively identify staff and it lets the patient’s family know who has visited the patient and when.

Monitoring Hand Hygiene Compliance

• Sensors in soap and hand sanitizer dispensers that communicate with RFID tags in staff identification badges can now determine if and when staff sanitize their hands.

• This not only aids in regulatory compliance and reporting, but also helps the hospital understand behaviours and improve processes, which can ultimately save lives.

Analysing Operational Data

• Data analytics to improve hospital operations.

• All of the wireless sensors hospitals are using generate tremendous amounts of data.

• This data can be mined to provide new insights into hospital operations
