Patient Care Technology Systems announced that South Jersey Healthcare Regional Medical Center has selected its Amelior Tracker system to automatically track and manage physician location and communication inside and outside the facility.
The installation at the 262-bed facility in Vineland, N.J. will consist of department to facility-wide software solutions and services designed to coordinate care through the real-time patient flow. The Web-based Amelior tracking software visualizes workflow by automatically identifying the location of people and equipment and the care progression of patients.
The South Jersey Health care center will integrate the certainty-based real-time location system and staff badge from business partner CenTrak, a thin and lightweight badge that uses Gen2IR and active RFID technology.
Overhead paging is currently being used throughout the hospital, which adds more stress for patients and staff. By integrating with an existing direct communication program from the Parlance Corporation, the software incorporates speech-enabled call routing and message notification services directly to the physician, whether they are in the hospital, in their office, or via their mobile telephones.
