Reducing patient wait times in clinics
Outpatient tracking system in clinics & speciality hospitals
Patient waiting times tracking & staff productivity in clinics – AIOC 2023 Kochi
In order to utilize the hospital staff effectively, tracking their location and working hours is very important. The presence of emergency department Doctors, nurses, and other staff needs to be monitored on a real-time basis to ensure resource availability – (beds, portable equipment such as wheelchairs, stretchers, ECG machines, and department personnel), especially in critical care, surgical, casualty and emergency departments using indoor positioning systems.
Outpatient tracking solutions
Outpatients in clinics can be tracked in case of emergency and ensure they are directed to visit the right department for services, understand queues in various services, and provide emergency support where needed. By defining visual zones in outpatient clinics, we can prevent unauthorized access in restricted zones.
Outpatient queue management
Uncontrolled crowding in the hospital causes headaches for management, besides having an impact on patient experience and safety. Now one can easily monitor the number of patients outside doctors’ cabins, pharmacies, laboratories, etc. If the allowed limit is exceeded, an alert will be sent to the concerned staff for timely interventions.
Reducing patient waiting time in day care surgical departments
Effectively monitoring the outpatient patient waiting times in different surgical departments such as ophthalmology clinics, orthopedics, and cardiology will help in bring operational insights. Alerts will be sent to central command if a predefined patient procedure exceeds the stipulated time, or in a specific department or area for a patient in departments, which is beyond the standard operating procedures, The hospital Management can take necessary actions which will enhance patient safety & experience significantly, to reduce patient waiting time in the emergency department.
Clinic housekeeping monitoring
Ensure housekeeping staff is visiting areas to be cleaned on time using battery-powered tags with a 10-year life. Monitor the complete movement of staff throughout the premise to know unauthorized entry to unassigned departments. A well-managed housekeeping and preventive maintenance tracking system will enhance the patient experience as well.
Reduce theft and equipment misuse in ophthalmology clinics
Using antitheft movement hospital equipment tags, theft can be reduced to a great extent. Whenever a theft attempt occurs, accelerometer triggers and alerts will be generated immediately. This will help management to reduce theft and take necessary actions for the hospital security and operations team.

Healthcare industry trends
Outside of clinical medicine, the use of remote shared service delivery has rapidly increased— eg, in education, where instructors with no prior online teaching experience have been quick to transition.
Technology firms can facilitate the adoption of virtual SMAs by enhancing features around privacy and monitoring. The success of telehealth is already apparent in the COVID-19 pandemic. Looking ahead, both providers and patients must adjust their expectations and embrace remote shared care – The Lancelet
