CenTrak's Clinical-Grade RTLS infection control system automates hand hygiene compliance monitoring and contact tracing through wearable devices and real-time location tracking, reducing healthcare-associated infections, improving patient and staff safety, eliminating manual reporting, and enhancing infection prevention programs with customized consulting and data-driven insights.
Clinical-Grade RTLS for Infection Prevention and Control
Keep staff and patients safe, reduce costs associated with the treatment of healthcare-associated infections (HAIs), and improve efficiency by eliminating manual documentation and compliance reporting.
Reduce Healthcare-Associated Infections with CenTrak's Infection Control System
Traditional methods like the secret shopper approach and manual interviews for hand hygiene compliance and contact tracing are labor-intensive and prone to bias. CenTrak’s infection control software and Clinical-Grade RTLS solutions automate these tasks, improving safety for patients and staff.
Hand Hygiene Compliance
Monitor hand hygiene events and deliver actionable insights to ensure the highest level of patient safety.
Contact Tracing
Minimize the spread of infectious diseases and automate labor-intensive processes. Quickly view interaction and location reports.

CenTrak’s end-to-end infection control solution provides:
- Locating infrastructure
- A variety of patient and staff RTLS wearables
- Robust software tools for real-time map views, lists, and reports
- Customized consulting and training services to drive meaningful RTLS implementation
Optimize Your Infection Prevention Program
Leveraging technology and insights delivered by RTLS, CenTrak partners with health systems to achieve higher safety standards and greater efficiency. Experienced healthcare trainers and clinical consultants, including Leapfrog Certified Coaches, assist in redesigning infection prevention processes in a data-driven and patient-focused way.
Location-Enabled Devices and Wearables Designed for Healthcare
Contact tracing is enabled with CenTrak's wearable devices, including single-use patient tags and reusable staff badges. Asset tags enable a full contact history report with equipment used by contaminated individuals. Hand Hygiene Compliance sensors are embedded into dispensers or mounted externally and receive data from staff badges to report adherence rates.
Insightful Reports and Dashboards
CenTrak’s software application provides dashboard views and configurable reports to demonstrate hand hygiene compliance and deliver accurate contact history reports. Data can be filtered by location, timeframe, roles, and individuals. Automating the collection of compliance events and patient-staff-equipment interactions provides real-time visibility to reduce infection spread and tools for future analysis.
