Patient Care Technology Systems, a subsidiary of Consulier Engineering, has announced that Moses Taylor Hospital has selected the company’s Amelior EDTracker software to automatically track patients and assets in its 35,000 census emergency department.
The software will use ultrasound locating from Patient Care Technology Systems (PCTS) partner Sonitor technologies.
The company said the Amelior EDTracker utilizes real-time location technologies to automatically capture real-time location information. Wireless patient, staff and asset tags communicate their real-time location to a network of sensors positioned throughout the department.
The PCTS automatic tracking software receives this information and applies ED-specific workflow rules which measure location, movement and interactions between patients, staff and clinical equipment in order to identify and communicate patient care milestones as they occur. Caregivers utilize configurable map and status view screens within Amelior EDTracker to anticipate and manage their workflow.
All patient movement is automatically measured and time-stamped which is accessible through the software’s extensive workflow reporting tools. An integrated dashboard informs department leadership about surges in patient volume by communicating key patient flow metrics in real-time.
The Sonitor ultrasound indoor positioning system will provide automatic capture of real-time location data. The ultrasound tags utilize sound waves to communicate to detectors throughout the department. The sound-based locating technology creates no electromagnetic interference with medical devices.
