Things have changed in the last year in the asset tracking arena and it is definitely now an option to consider.

Firstly, recent technology advancements mean that is now possible to operate an asset tracking system across the hospital wireless LAN network, avoiding the need for expensive proprietary infrastrucuture. Secondly, mass production has reduced tag prices significantly.

Airetrak has the first solution of its kind in the UK which enables you to tag EBME assets using an 'active' RF tag over the wireless LAN network. Using an active tag means you can locate the asset in the hospital to 5m as it transmits a signal. You can also do instant counts of all assets and run reports on asset utilisation.
