Increase revenue and enhance the patient experience by simplifying indoor & outdoor hospital navigation
CenTrak offers a complete patient-centric solution, including EMR integrations for real-time appointment reminders with directions to the closest parking area. The solution offers turn-by-turn navigation, highlighted routes, intuitive search by keywords or points-of-interest, and custom routing such as wheelchair-accessible paths.
Experience - Problem
Don't let missed or late appointments slow you down
Hospitals lose significant revenue every year due to late or missed appointments directly related to patient confusion with parking, directions, and unrealistic time estimates. Additionally, staff members are often stopped for directions which takes time away from completing their critical tasks efficiently.
Experience - Solution
Give patients convenient wayfinding options from mobile apps, browsers, and kiosks
Utilizing Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE), GPS, and/or Wi-Fi capabilities, CenTrak enables an enhanced patient experience with step-by-step navigation throughout their healthcare journey. Combining real-time patient wayfinding with other RTLS investments, from a single source, reduces IT burden and maximizes ROI. Alternatively, QR Code signage may be quickly deployed for wayfinding access on any browser or kiosk, eliminating the need for RTLS hardware installation and maintenance.
Digital wayfinding has elevated our patient experience initiatives and gives patients an idea of where they are going before ever stepping foot on campus.
Make your facility more accessible
Powered by Google Maps, CenTrak delivers a cost-effective, flexible and scalable mapping solution for healthcare.
An interactive hospital directory to solve your patient wayfinding pain points
Building floorplans are transformed into interactive, user-friendly maps with easy access to directories, parking areas, lists of local “near me” points of interest (POIs), and more. Patients, visitors, and staff can then use a mobile application, webpage, or dedicated kiosk for directions across campus, between buildings and floors, and back to their parking location
