Eastern Maine Medical Center uses RFID to manage patient flow
Eastern Maine Medical Center’s (EMMC) newly renovated 32,000 square foot Imaging Center has recently installed a Real-time Locating System (RTLS) in order to better manage patient flow.
Versus Technology’s RTLS automatically captures time parameters related to each patient’s visit, including wait time and time to complete a particular imaging service.
Imaging Center staff can then make real-time comparisons to benchmarked goals, perform more accurate scheduling based on actual time to complete certain procedures, and better inform patients as to expected wait and procedure times.
Additionally, Versus automatically identifies room status as available, in-use, reserved, in-process (being cleaned) or unavailable based on patient locations.
