CenTrak Workflow provides a simple, yet sophisticated solution to automate your clinical processes. Focus on patient care, while we take care of the rest.
Key Workflow Automation Solutions
- Nurse Call Automation: Integrate your nurse call system with RTLS for enhanced workflow automation in healthcare, staff communication, and patient care.
- Clinical Workflow: Automate patient and staff workflows to improve efficiency and communications using real-time location technologies (RTLS).
Drive New Levels of Healthcare Automation
Supported by a reliable and scalable real-time location system (RTLS), CenTrak’s end-to-end workflow solution provides locating infrastructure, a variety of purpose-built wearables, and easy-to-use software tools for real-time map views, lists, reports, and alerts. Consulting services are also offered to help drive meaningful impact of your RTLS implementation.
Workflow Consulting
CenTrak partners with health systems, leveraging technology to achieve greater efficiency, higher safety standards, and the ultimate patient experience. Experienced healthcare consultants assist with redesigning processes in a data-driven and patient-focused way.
RTLS Patient and Staff Badges
Choose the location badge that works best for your specific use case—from one-time use, disposable badges to multi-use, durable badges. Configurable buttons can trigger notifications to further improve workflow automation. Badges support multiple technologies including Gen2IR™, Wi-Fi, CenTrak’s UHF Network, and Low Frequency (choke point and egress detection).
RTLS Workflow Software
The software application includes robust reports and insightful dashboards. Automating the data collection of status events and patient-staff-equipment interactions provides real-time visibility and tools for future analysis.
Healthcare Interoperability
CenTrak’s open location platform enables seamless integration with both new and existing applications, such as Nurse Call Systems and Electronic Health Record (EHR) systems, to maximize the impact of RTLS and your return on investment.
Location Accuracy
CenTrak's clinical-grade locating is engineered to handle the speed, precision, and rigors of today’s healthcare environment. Patient location and status are accurate down to the sub-room level and updated in real-time to support dynamic patient workflows.
