New Centrak Office Opened in California
CenTrak has opened a new West Coast office in Menlo Park, California, to better serve its expanding healthcare partners by showcasing its advanced Hybrid Gen2IRTM and Active-RFID RTLS technologies, which have driven significant growth with over 300,000 deployed tags and positioned the company as a leader in the evolving healthcare real-time location systems market.
CenTrak, a leading provider of Real-Time Location Systems for healthcare, has announced the opening of its new West Coast office in Menlo Park, CA. This expansion aims to support CenTrak's growing list of west coast healthcare partners and end users.
According to Dr. Ari Naim, CEO and Founder of CenTrak:
“The new office provides a regional facility to help us better serve our customers on the West Coast. It will function as a destination for meeting partners, customers and prospects and as a ‘showroom’ for our latest technology. We have set-up a fully functioning deployment of our Hybrid Gen2IRTM and Active-RFID RTLS in over fifty rooms, so we can demonstrate the technology in use.”
In 2011, CenTrak experienced significant growth, with the number of installations reaching into the hundreds. Over the past four years, more than 300,000 tags have been deployed, including tens of thousands of active patient, staff, and temperature tags. This growth has positioned CenTrak as a leader in the healthcare RTLS industry.
Dr. Naim also noted:
“We are experiencing significant momentum at this point in the market’s evolution. By exceeding our customers’ expectations – typically due to our system’s accuracy, speed, ease of installation/maintenance and affordability – we are receiving positive feedback, new referrals and more opportunities.”
Wil Lukens, Senior Vice President of Sales and Business Development for CenTrak, commented on the evolving healthcare RTLS market:
“The healthcare RTLS market is rapidly evolving. Hospitals are forgoing basic tracking projects in exchange for real value from integrating certainty-based room-and bed-level location data with traditional Hospital Information Systems and new RTLS workflow applications. CenTrak’s patented Gen2IRTM puts us in prime position to leverage the trend of location-enabling the applications hospitals already own.”
CenTrak provides facilities with data-driven insights, creates a safe and efficient environment for staff, and enhances the healthcare experience for patients, residents, and their families.
