Brigham and Women’s Hospital, located in Boston, Mass., has installed an RFID-based real-time location system (RTLS), enabling it to track thousands of medical devices. The 747-bed nonprofit teaching hospital, affiliated with Harvard Medical School, currently tracks more than 6,000 portable patient-care devices on its campus, extending throughout two buildings. In this session, hear the processes and lessons learned from the RFID implementation, and find out how the system has improved patient care, streamlined patient flow and saved the hospital money.
