Albert Einstein Healthcare chooses patient technology system that support RFID-enabled patient tracking for hands-free business processes in the hospital emergency room ...

... "The passive tracking system, so-called for the lack of active, manual data entry by department staff, collects the real-time status of patients, staff and medical equipment as they move through the department. Unlike traditional tracking systems that require manual data entry, and as a result can be difficult to keep up-to-date, passive tracking uses wireless signals sent by badges worn by patients and staff and attached to equipment. These signals are read by sensors located throughout the Emergency Department. Software developed by PCTS applies rules-based intelligence to instantly communicate the current stage of care for every patient. The system displays the information in convenient map views that match the floor plan of the facility. The software works with all passive tracking technologies including Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) and ultra-wide band. To date, PCTS has implemented more passive patient tracking software in U.S. Emergency Departments than any other software provider. " ...

... RFID tracking technology offers a hands-free process for patient management in the healthcare industry.
