RFiD Discovery, a leading provider of tracking solutions for healthcare, has introduced a new Patient Discharge Management system designed to enhance bed management efficiency in hospitals. The system aims to improve patient flow and reduce wait times by providing real-time visibility of bed availability.
It leverages RFID technology, combining RFID-enabled wristbands with an advanced Smart Drop Reader. This automated solution significantly reduces the time required to update bed management systems, allowing hospitals to optimise bed allocation and improve overall patient care.
Simon Dawkins, lead RFID consultant – healthcare at RFiD Discovery said: ‘In today’s fast-paced healthcare environment, timely and accurate bed management is essential. Our Patient Discharge Management system provides hospitals with a seamless solution that not only speeds up the discharge process but also frees up valuable time for healthcare staff to focus on what matters most — patient care.’
The system is designed for ease of integration, requiring minimal changes to existing hospital processes. Hospitals can implement the system by replacing the standard wristband printer with an RFID wristband printer, which automatically links patient details to the RFID tag without adding extra steps for staff.
Upon a patient’s discharge, the wristband is placed in the Smart Drop Reader, instantly updating the bed management system and notifying cleaning staff via SMS or email. This automation eliminates the need for manual data entry, ensuring that bed availability information is always current and accurate.
The system is part of a broader range of location tracking solutions, including medical device tracking, inventory management, baby tagging, staff safety, and automated temperature monitoring. These solutions are designed to help hospitals cut costs, increase efficiency, and enhance patient care.
