In an attempt to enhance patient care along with patient experience and reduce costs, AHA Solutions, Inc., a subsidiary of the American Hospital Association (AHA) has deployed AeroScout, Inc.'s Wi-Fi based Active RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) tracking system. With the Active RFID tracking system, hospitals will be able to track and manage the location, movement and status of patients, caregivers and vital hospital equipment

 

AHA Solutions, Inc. has opted for such a tracking system to improve operational efficiencies related to patient flow and patient-centered care.

 

"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 Vice President, AHA Solutions, Inc. in a statement. "AeroScout has demonstrated that their solutions can help improve patient care, decrease waste, increase efficiency, and bring financial savings to hospitals."

 

The AeroScout system leverages Wi-Fi networks to deliver precise and real-time information about the location and status of any patient, staff member or mobile items such as medication pumps, wheelchairs or defibrillators. Using the information, hospitals will be able to quickly find a needed person or item, create asset utilization reports, trigger automated alerts, or interface with an extensive range of health care IT systems.

 

"We are extremely pleased to be exclusively endorsed by the American Hospital Association as the recommended Wi-Fi solution for deploying asset and patient tracking across health care enterprises," said Yuval Bar-Gil, CEO and Co-founder of 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 Solutions to continue this success within the healthcare community."
