Wireless In-Patient Management

Evolving Technology, Emerging Opportunities

 

The ability to access information on current patient location, patient movement, and patient event scheduling is being viewed by many healthcare administrators as a cost-effective way to improve bed occupancy usage and reduce demand on staff and facilities. Until recently, cost, form factor and service issues slowed acceptance and adoption of wireless patient management systems by healthcare facilities. Improved reliability and the evolution of endpoint devices with longer battery life are now enabling health care providers to justify the investment in wireless technology. As reliability, price points, and health care application availability continue to improve, the proliferation of wireless-enabled patient management systems will continue to penetrate large and mid-size hospitals.
