Agility Releases New Version of
Equipment Management System
That Supports Fully Functional Handheld RFID Readers
RICHMOND, Va. December 16, 2004 Agility Healthcare
Solutions has released AgileTrac 2.0, its Web-based,
radio frequency identification-enabled equipment
management system that can be applied to other
healthcare facility needs, including patient tracking
and surgical-instrument management.
Agility's AgileTrac 2.0 is the only equipment
management solution in the healthcare industry
that integrates comprehensive functionality into
handheld RFID readers.
AgileTrac 2.0 introduces the addition of tools
to manage daily rental equipment not owned by the
healthcare facility or managed by Agility, an enhanced
Web front-end for better system usability and navigation,
and a full email alert system to allow healthcare
facilities to respond more effectively to corporate
governance including mandates for operational visibility.
Agility chief executive officer Fran Dirksmeier
said emphasis was placed on user friendliness,
as evidenced by dynamic drop-down menus and three-dimensional
graphs that are linked to corresponding report
data.
Dirksmeier said that AgileTrac 2.0's new email
alert system complements existing reporting functionality.
Now when user-generated reports, system-generated
alerts and exception reports are sent to the respective
recipients, the system maintains a log of email
delivery confirmations.
AgileTrac is a technology infrastructure that
includes hardware, data collection and systems
integration middleware along with application software
and user interfaces. Hardware includes universal
active RFID and wireless-fidelity (Wi-Fi) networks
for facility-wide equipment management. |
