Carolinas HealthCare System (CHS) is using the Ekahau real time location systems (RTLS) solution for a centrally deployed asset tracking application that will work across its acute care facilities. CHS expects to track thousands of assets across its campuses starting with infusion pumps and ventilators, which it began tracking this past summer.
Clay Fisher, director at CHS, said: We evaluated the offerings of more than a half-dozen vendors on their technology’s performance and scalability, as well as its ability to align with our Wi-Fi strategy. After extensive review, we felt confident that Ekahau RTLS would not only integrate with our existing Wi-Fi infrastructure, but would provide system-wide visibility so we could accurately and efficiently locate, manage and re-allocate equipment between facilities to maximize usage and ROI.
