Presentation Summary

This was a joint presentation with Dr Gary York, CEO and President, Awarix, Inc., United States

Healthcare providers are under increasing pressure to improve operational efficiency
Tracking the location of patients, staff, and equipment is central to managing the patient throughput process. Providing real time information on the location and status of critical resources allows hospitals to increase revenues, improve efficiency, and increase patient and staff satisfaction
Using standards-based, off-the-shelf location technology based on WiFi and RFID yields the greatest benefit at the lowest cost
The Smart Hospital of the future will integrate location with key clinical applications to provide clinicians and administrators with the right information at the right time, and the right place
