Seamless equipment and patient transport are critical for smart hospitals

Seamless equipment and patient transport are critical for smart hospitals

Equipment management and tracking is a very important function in hospitals. If handled properly, it can lead to a severe reduction in clinician burnout, maximum utilization of equipment, and guarantee of properly sterilized equipment leading to improved medical outcomes.

Asset inventory management system

 

Quick access to medical and support equipment is crucial in a large hospital campus, and patient transport in such settings can be challenging. Our technology addresses both these issues, streamlining equipment access and facilitating efficient patient transport.

 

In a large hospital campus, medical equipment and support assets like wheelchairs frequently need to be moved between buildings. The system offers a solution for requesting these assets from anywhere on campus and tracks each item from the moment a request is made, through its usage, return, and decontamination ensuring its readiness for the next use. They not only facilitate asset transport but also streamline patient transport. Through their system, hospital users can request patient transport, which Asahi efficiently manages. Technicians scan the patient’s bracelet and verify the accuracy of their personal information, including name and date of birth, before transporting them to the requested unit. Asahi adeptly oversees the entire round trip of the patient, ensuring smooth transitions from their room to the lab/OR/any other unit and back again to their room.

 

Their comprehensive system ensures that every request is handled promptly, ensuring no patient is left waiting. When any request is submitted, all new requests are automatically distributed to all available technicians. Administrators have full control through the system and can oversee all requests via our dashboard. They have designed a graphical portal that displays all current orders, their service level agreements (SLAs), request details, and the assigned technician. Any surprises or issues in requests are promptly detected and the system highlights them within the portal. The administrator can take immediate prompt action to ensure the original request is consistently fulfilled to satisfaction.

 

Equipment audit system

Regular audits are indispensable for upholding the cleanliness and hygiene standards of hospitals, which are top priorities. They achieve maximum efficiency in hospital audits through optimization and streamlined processes.

 

Conducting audits across a vast campus is a complex task. It involves managing numerous components and a diverse range of assets that require different types of audits. Their system categorizes various assets and links them to specific audit types. The technician merely needs to scan the item and input the audit results into the centralized system. Given the necessity for regular and frequent audits of all items in a hospital, their scheduler system effectively manages the audit schedule for each individual item. As these audits rely on manual inspection and scanning, it’s crucial to ensure that technicians can efficiently cover and audit items. Their system facilitates audit planning by allowing technicians to focus on auditing all items of a specific floor, type, or unit. They establish distinct routes for audits, enabling technicians to systematically cover ground in large campuses and conduct thorough inspections. These designated routes are then assigned to users to carry out their auditing tasks efficiently. Their system offers flexibility in assigning or reassigning routes or schedules to different technicians, ensuring that all items are consistently audited.
