Improve Healthcare Communication and Patient Care via Wireless
Independent studies have found that many adverse events in hospitals are preventable. A Joint Commission has consistently cited improved communication among caregivers as one of its top patient safety goals after finding that breakdowns in communication accounted for more than 80% of sentinel events in hospitals.

Patient Care Enhancements through Wireless-enabled Mobility
In the Healthcare environment, mobile communication to the nurses has become increasingly important. Along with SpectraLink and Cisco IP phones, Vocera Communication badges have gained popularity in hospitals. Once mobile communications with IP phones and Vocera badges has been established, the next natural progression is to integrate the Nurse Call systems with the mobile communications.

Tracking of Assets using RFID: Radio Frequency Identification
The need to locate high cost equipment and patient critical equipment in a timely fashion is extremely important for providing customer care. Further, devices such as infusion pumps need monthly preventive maintenance. The timely tracking and status of these items is addressed through RFID technology.
Wireless-enabled Medicine Distribution
There are several point-of-care applications available that validates that the right patient has the right medication at the right time. The way they work is the nurse scans the patients bar-code arm band, then scans the medication. The intent is to provide a point of care verification that the prescribed medication is actually the correct dosage for the intended patient. These systems ensures the “five rights” before medication administration, deliver real-time alerts and warnings for new changed or cancelled orders, improves communications of the medical care team, improves documentation required by regulatory agencies, and often interface with your nursing, physician, and pharmacy systems.
