asset management
IV pumps. Wheelchairs. Telemetry units. Hospitals over-spend millions each year on mobile assets that are not used effectively. AgileTrac Asset Manager from GE Healthcare is a real-time tracking system to monitor the usage, status, and location of all your mobile assets. Combined with better distribution processes, AgileTrac can help you:- Reduce inventory while improving asset availability
- Decrease capital and operating expenditure
- Improve the efficiency and safety of patient care
- Increase staff productivity
Locate your assets
Mobile assets like IV pumps, wheelchairs, and telemetry units routinely get lost in the system. With AgileTrac Asset Manager, each piece of equipment has a real-time location system (RTLS) tag that communicates with a central visualization system. Using a web browser, staff can track asset location and status in real time throughout the facility.- Track by map, tabular, or detailed view
- Search by equipment location, models, repair and service history
- Receive alerts if equipment leaves designated areas
Right-size your inventory
Because hospitals can't locate their mobile assets, they buy, lease, or rent more to ensure availability for patients. Often, these units get swallowed up in the system too. AgileTrac Asset Manager breaks this costly cycle, enabling hospitals to use less equipment more efficiently. We typically see an inventory reduction of 10-20% when a hospital combines AgileTrac with better distribution processes. For example, a 200-bed hospital that reduces its inventory of 400+ infusion pumps by 100 can achieve $300,000 to $500,000 in savings by reducing rentals, terminating leases, decreasing maintenance costs, and avoiding unnecessary capital expenditure during their next pump purchase.Ensure safety and compliance
On any given day, how many IV pumps in your hospital meet cleanliness standards? How many are up-to-date with scheduled maintenance? In many hospitals, the number is distressingly low. AgileTrac can help you automate better compliance by tracking your mobile assets throughout their utilization cycles. The system will monitor compliance with cleaning protocols, alert you to preventive maintenance due dates, and track all repairs. AgileTrac's centralized database also provides a complete equipment and service history to support your compliance efforts.Turn on the light
