Cloud Hosting

For health systems and hospitals, Cloud-Based RTLS provides a cost-effective, fast-to-deploy solution. A key aspect for health system management is the low investment cost for installing a cloud-based platform. Because the Plug-In BLE Sensors only need a wall outlet to operate, there is no need for design or construction projects. Facilities avoid noisy disruptions, and installation is as quick as plugging in sensors and activating with a smart phone. Full deployment is complete in a matter of days.

This simplified set up is not a burden on IT departments, since the cloud-based platform does not require dedicated servers or the footprint to house them. Further, cloud-based tracking is easily scalable, as it can be used across facilities and throughout multiple buildings. Regulatory compliance controls and encryption help ensure data confidentiality.

From the interviews we conduct with health system and hospital personnel, we understand the frustration they go through. We heard their stories of unsustainable waste. In one year, one hospital lost $5 million in IV pumps and telemetry packs alone.3 We also heard their concerns about how this waste and over-buying impacts their operations and budgets. This can include over-purchasing assets, repeat purchasing, labor costs to maintain extra equipment, and extra costs for software agreements, consumables, installations and user training. This waste is a constant issue that burdens day-to-day operations. Midmark RTLS works to support hospitals and health systems because budgets should be reserved for increasing the quality of care. Not repeat-buying items that were already in the building. Better care starts when all staff are well equipped, prepared and focusing on the patientnot searching for lost, missing or stolen medical devices and equipment.
