A system designed to monitor and manage the location, status, and maintenance schedules of instruments and devices used in healthcare settings. For instance, this involves knowing where a specific ventilator is located within a hospital and whether it is ready for use or undergoing maintenance.
Effective management of these assets is crucial for several reasons. It can improve patient safety by ensuring that properly functioning items are available when needed. Furthermore, it can lead to cost savings through optimized utilization, reduced loss or theft, and efficient maintenance planning. Historically, these processes were managed manually, which was prone to errors and inefficiencies. Modern solutions offer automated tracking, real-time visibility, and data-driven insights.
