AeroScout and Four Rivers delivers improved operations to WellSpan Hospitals

Friday, June 24, 2011

WellSpan Health, located in south-central Pennsylvania, is using an integrated real-time location solution from the team of AeroScout and Four Rivers Software System at its York Hospital.

The combined solution pairs Four River’s Total Maintenance System to manage inventories and track and distribute the associated maintenance activities, with AeroScout’s Wi-Fi RFID asset management solution for tracking the real-time location, status and condition of medical equipment.


With this joint solution, WellSpan is able to better manage inventory, which improves asset utilization and streamlines equipment maintenance and recalls, and also leads to enhanced patient satisfaction and care.

In the event of a safety recall, staff is able to quickly locate and recover affected equipment, which save time and improves hospitals’ ability to quickly service equipment for patients. [end] 

AeroScout is working with Siemens Healthcare to deploy AeroScout’s real-time location system to help health care organizations improve operations and quality of care.

Most recently Siemens implemented AeroScout’s Temperature Monitoring solution across three of Lifespan’s hospitals in Rhode Island. Using its existing Wi-Fi network, Lifespan is monitoring and managing the temperature of hundreds of refrigerators that contain critical items, such as pharmaceuticals, blood, and research materials.

AeroScout was recently selected to implement and integrate its Wi-Fi RFID-enabled Work-in-Process (WIP) Visibility solution for a Continental Tire factory in France.

Traditionally, manually locating the large carriers used for material transport was challenging and inefficient, resulting in wasted time and materials. With the AeroScout solution, Continental Tire employees can check where a carrier is located in real-time from a Wi-Fi enabled computer.
