Orange delivers RFID solution to Columbia health centers
Centros Especializados de San Vicente Fundacion, Columbia has chosen Orange Business Services to integrate and deliver RFID-based technology and communications services at its new branch launched in October.
The new branch comprises 12 specialized health centers, integrated by Orange Business Services with a real-time hospital asset and resource tracking system, based on RFID technology.
These assets and resources include wheelchairs and other portable tools as well as hospital staff who also have RFID tags in their badges. This helps the hospital to know immediately the location of key surgeons and specialists. In addition, the hospital monitors medicine with RFID tags that include a temperature gauge to ensure it is kept at optimal temperatures.
Orange is also providing a nurse-call system for 220 patient beds, an integrated system that establishes a direct telephone communication with hospital staff, to better assist with the patient’s request.
