‘Revolutionising’ how hospitals manage bed availability

RFiD Discovery, a leading UK provider of tracking solutions for healthcare, says its new Patient Discharge Management system is’ set to revolutionise how hospitals manage bed availability, offering a faster, more accurate solution that enhances patient care and operational efficiency’.

Combining RFID-enabled wristbands with a ‘cutting-edge’ Smart Drop Reader, the automated approach ‘drastically reduces the time needed to update bed management systems, giving hospitals real-time visibility of available beds’, the company explains.

Simon Dawkins, lead RFID consultant – Healthcare, at RFiD Discovery said: “Our Patient Discharge Management system provides hospitals with a seamless solution that not only speeds up discharge, but also frees valuable time for healthcare staff to focus on patient care.”

RFiD Discovery say hospitals can implement this system ‘with minimal disruption to existing processes’. The standard wristband printer is simply replaced with an RFID wristband printer, which automatically links patient details to the RFID tag without adding extra steps for healthcare staff. On patient discharge, the wristband is placed in the Smart Drop Reader, which instantly updates the bed management system and notifies cleaning staff via SMS or email both eliminating the  need for manual data entry, and ensuring that bed availability information is always up to date.

RFiD Discovery’s wide range of location tracking solutions include medical device and patient flow tracking, inventory management, baby tagging, staff safety, and automated temperature monitoring.
