AWAREPOINT AND SKYTRON PARTNERSHIP TO IMPROVE HOSPITAL ASSET MANAGEMENT
Skytron will sell, install and support Awarepoint’s patented active RFID-RTLS technology. Skytron Asset Manager is an integrated active RFID asset management and information resource solution to improve hospital patient care, enhance staff productivity and better manage equipment capital and rental expense. While standard real-time location services (RTLS) provide location tracking and reporting of mobile assets via a web-based search application, Skytron Asset Manager adds another critical dimension to information on-demand – incorporating operators’ instructions, maintenance manuals and parts catalogues into the asset tracking RFID platform. “Not only does the system provide real-time location information of mobile assets, it further integrates the myriad operators’ instructions for all types of healthcare equipment. Skytron Asset Manager creates a wireless hospital asset management solution which can consolidate medical equipment information and location needs for both mobile and fixed assets,” said Randy Tomaszewski, Skytron’s vice president of marketing. The Skytron Asset Manager solution further integrates with Skytron’s SkyVision operating room video and data system to provide total equipment information at the point of care. With it, users can track the location and status of equipment and people, plus have operation, maintenance and technical manuals at their immediate fingertips, without leaving the operating room.
