Ubiquicom

Tracking of patients within Accident and Emergency

Family members of patients in accident and emergency are able to obtain immediate evidence of the patient’s state of health and position within the hospital structure thanks to screens and/or information desks located by the hospital waiting rooms.

Operating theatres and intense care wards

By providing patients undergoing standard recovery programmes or in day care with Ubiquicom Tags, both medical and paramedical personnel who are in charge of the patients in preparation for surgical interventions or particularly demanding medical exams, would be able to optimise the sequence of phases. This is thanks to systems for the management of waiting lists based on the patients’ state of health, on the condition and availability of wards, and on the patients’ location within the hospital structure.

Tracking of medical devices, blood packs and critical medicines

By equipping electronic medical devices with Ubiquicom Tags, medical and paramedic staff will be able to immediately identify equipments’ position therefore maximising efficiency during normal working conditions and also minimising research times in emergency situations.

Also, the internal departments and/or the equipment management and maintenance companies will have the possibility to introduce a ‘pay per use’ system, which will allow them to identify who (medical departments, research divisions, etc.) made use of the equipment in a given time frame.

These options increase service efficiency and patients’ satisfaction levels and at the same time optimise equipment use, reducing indirect costs related to under usage.

By providing an Ubiquicom Tag to each container storing organs, blood units or drugs, it becomes possible for medical and paramedical staff to immediately trace:

• Data regarding source, compatibility, expiration, etc.
• Position within the internal (or external) hospital structure
• Control of physical characteristics (e.g. temperature)
• The history of the physical characteristics measured (e.g. was the temperature always maintained constant within a specific conservation range?)
