Key Challenges
- Improve both the delivery and the availability of standard medical assets at the point of use
- Rising rental costs, equipment hoarding issues, and trouble locating equipment
- Wastage of resources and labor time in manual searching through cabins, rooms, corridors, and floors
- Inability to track medical assets in a timely manner
Solution
- Sparity designed a solution that integrated standard RTLS with powerful automation by efficiently incorporating requisition, procurement, fulfillment, purchasing, and staffing
- This solution further helped the client to locate equipment using their desktop or mobile device, make intelligent, proactive decisions regarding their medical equipment, reduce rental equipment costs, and generate a comprehensive inventory of all rented and owned equipment
- Appropriate data is collected, prepared, preprocessed, and transformed in a form suitable for building machine learning models and performing feature engineering
- Analyzing relevant data points – from past visits to household composition to family income – Healthcare client can identify those active patients who are at risk and those who are not at risk
- Asset movement is automatically recorded in the backend database without any manual intervention
- The solution provides an alert if an asset is not on the premise of the hospital, the system would detect that a tag is out of range of the Wi-Fi nodes
- Automated Asset Inventory can be generated with just a few clicks
- End-of-day reports can also be generated for further analysis and to make better decisions on how to use their assets efficiently
