Healthcare's Leading Asset Tracking & Management Solution
CenTrak’s healthcare asset tracking and management solution uses scalable BLE-enabled and active RFID tags, integrated software, and managed services to reduce equipment loss, improve utilization, automate workflows like maintenance and distribution, and enhance clinical staff efficiency—ultimately reallocating staff time to patient care and saving millions by providing real-time visibility and precise location of hospital equipment.
Hospital Equipment Tracking & Management Solution
Reduce medical equipment shrinkage, improve utilization, eliminate over-procurement, and enhance clinical and biomed staff efficiency with a simple and scalable RTLS solution.
Reallocate Hours to Patient Care and Save Millions
CenTrak’s healthcare asset management solution includes a variety of purpose-built asset tags, including cost-effective BLE-enabled models for rapid deployment, CMMS integrations, and easy-to-use asset tracking software tools. These tools provide comprehensive map and list views, robust reporting, and immediate alert notifications. Managed service options help keep your asset tracking system at peak performance, while consulting engagements provide expert workflow design.
The Impact of Asset Visibility
One-third of nurses report spending at least 1 hour during an average shift searching for equipment. This often leads to asset hoarding, over procurement, and increased expenditures. Without RTLS, biomed staff also spend the majority of their time searching for assets instead of servicing them.
CenTrak’s Active RFID and BLE-Based Asset Tracking
Asset visibility is the first step in achieving an operationally efficient healthcare environment. CenTrak offers fast and intuitive asset search, as well as tools to automate equipment workflows such as PAR-level management, preventative maintenance management, and equipment distribution. With scalable BLE-enabled tags and the option for clinical-grade locating, CenTrak ensures precise locating to meet the needs of any healthcare environment. Consulting and managed services are available to assist with maintenance and workflow design.
Automate Asset Workflows and Deliver Quality Patient Care
Asset tracking tags are placed on mobile hospital equipment to provide data on its location and status in real time. Staff can access the hospital equipment tracking software to view asset locations, ensuring assets are available when needed. This speeds up preventative maintenance activities and asset compliance workflows, supporting timely, patient-centered care.
Key Benefits
- Cost Savings: Egress alerts reduce lost or stolen equipment, while robust utilization analytics help rightsize your equipment fleet.
- Caregiver Efficiency: Caregivers can eliminate wasted steps and access critical equipment quickly with a simple asset search.
- Quality Patient Care: PAR-level management ensures critical equipment is available when and where it is needed most, reducing delays in patient care.
- Regulatory Compliance: CMMS integrations enable more efficient preventative maintenance activities and recall procedures to help ensure regulatory compliance.
Scalable RTLS Solutions
Flexible technology options, such as BLE, support simple asset tracking with fully wireless deployments, as well as accurate room- and bay-level locating for advanced asset management workflows.
Optimize Your RTLS Medical Asset Management Program
CenTrak partners with health systems to improve outcomes and regularly monitor return on investment. Managed services and consulting programs are available to assist with maintenance activities and optimal workflow design to enhance equipment distribution, availability, and utilization.
Purpose-Built RTLS Asset Tags
Innovative hardware options include the smallest active RFID asset tags on the market, tags with configurable buttons to trigger custom workflow notifications, and specialty devices designed for medical scope management—capable of withstanding high-pressure washing and harsh disinfectant chemicals. Multiple technologies are supported, including cost-effective BLE-only options or Clinical-Grade/Multi-Mode technologies such as Gen2IR™, CenTrak’s UHF Network, and Low Frequency (choke point and egress detection). Motion and detachment sensor capabilities are available, as well as water-resistant and fully-sealed waterproof options.
Drive Greater Efficiencies with Actionable Insights
Easy-to-use asset tracking software applications include configurable asset properties, visual dashboards, a customizable rules engine to support PAR-level notifications, and reports to analyze refill times and historical population levels.
An Open RTLS Platform for Maximum Impact
CenTrak’s open location platform enables seamless integration with both new and existing applications, such as Computerized Maintenance Management Systems (CMMS) and Electronic Health Record Systems, to maximize your return on investment. Bi-directional CMMS integration assists with PM compliance and recall management.
