Hoag Hospital implements patient tracking from PCTS and Sonitor

Sonitor partner PCTS has implemented their Amelior EDTracker® to track patients with Sonitor USID in Hoag Hospitals' 66,000-census emergency department.

Sonitor business partner Patient Care Technology Systems has implemented the company's Amelior EDTracker® solution to automatically track patients in its 66,000-census emergency department. The solution integrates Sonitor's ultrasonic real-time locating system (RTLS).

 

The web-based Amelior EDTracker software visualizes patient flow by automatically identifying the location and status of patients and equipment without requiring manual updates by busy caregivers. Location information is generated by integrating with a facility's choice of RTLS.

 

Ultrasonic locating for precision and accuracy

Hoag selected ultrasonic locating from Sonitor Technologies for its room and bay-level locating precision and accuracy. Workflow algorithms within the Amelior EDTracker software interpret the meaning of location, movement and interactions between patients, staff and equipment to automatically communicate patient care milestones as they occur. Interfaces to ADT, lab, and radiology systems integrate additional patient and order status information creating a centralized workflow communication and management portal for the emergency department.
