Agility Healthcare Solutions to Demonstrate Tracking Software at HIMSS Show
Posted on: Friday, 22 February 2008, 12:01 CST
Agility Healthcare Solutions is pleased to announce that it will be demonstrating its AgileTrac™ Mobile software in the Microsoft booth (#2247) at this year's Healthcare Information Management Systems Society (HIMSS) Annual Conference & Exhibition in Orlando, Fla., from Feb. 24 to 28.
AgileTrac Mobile is part of the AgileTrac Enterprise family of products which includes products for equipment tracking, bed management, emergency department, patient tracking and surgical services. Currently, AgileTrac Mobile operates on Windows Mobile 6 devices.
"Capacity management and patient throughput are some of the biggest challenges facing hospitals today," said Fran Dirksmeier, CEO of Agility. "Too often, hospitals think they need to build a bigger emergency department to address patient backlog, when what they really need is real-time visibility into what is happening in the hospital so they can better deploy their assets and staff."
AgileTrac uses real-time location systems such as RFID to track and measure utilization of all resources while improving staff workflow and patient throughput. AgileTrac is a user-friendly, Web-based application that offers flexible views, workflows and rules that can be tailored to specific department needs. Its powerful workflow engine provides situational awareness and insight into the location of tagged objects including why they are there, what they're doing and the impact of changes in status. This enables hospital staff to see beyond patient flow and allows them to control the flow of patient care.
"Providers struggle with the need for real-time visibility into assets and staffing availability," said Chris Sullivan, U.S. health industry solutions director, Microsoft Corp. "AgileTrac combines real-time tracking information running on Microsoft Windows Mobile Devices that empowers clinicians with a powerful, yet easy-to-use, management tool. This allows hospital staff to access information from any desktop or mobile device in the hospital."
