AHA Endorsement:
IR-RFID Patient, Staff & Asset Tracking
"Versus allows us to track patients so our physicians and nurses can give them the fastest, most effective care possible." – Jill Hoggard Green, COO, PeaceHealth Oregon Region
Efficient patient flow management is a necessity in today’s environment. That means knowing precisely where a particular patient is, how their visit progresses and where specific pieces of equipment are at any given time – all while coordinating and documenting staff workloads. The utilization of a real-time location tracking (RTLS) technology will enable health care organizations to automate and improve processes that save time for caregivers so they can concentrate on the patients' needs instead of searching for patients, personnel, equipment, and supplies.
Why We Endorsed IR-RFID Patient, Staff & Asset Tracking from Versus
A key differentiator, Versus owns the products and components that make up their system. Badges are made to Versus specifications and the software is written and managed by Versus employees. Having direct control over all components of the system enables Versus to make quick decisions in resolving customer problems and further development of the technology. In addition, all references indicate that Versus is the only organization willing to adapt the software to the needs of the hospital.
The Versus technology has a very high level of tracking accuracy. Part of this is due to utilizing a combination of RFID with infrared. Other organizations utilize a triangulation method, but if one of the data points fails, the item/person could no longer be located.
