Patient Flow Management  Bed Management Transport Management Resource Management
Improved capacity management is becoming increasingly critical for hospitals as they face great financial strain from increased delivery of uncompensated care, declines in reimbursement rates, and shortages of qualified staff. At the same time, the aging population is increasing demand for healthcare services and straining the capacity of the healthcare system. Regulatory and accrediting organizations are also demanding more from healthcare providers to ensure patient safety and improve the quality of patient care.
AgileTrac Capacity Manager offers the first comprehensive enterprise visibility system that delivers real-time facility-wide visibility to patients, bed availability, assets, and staff, while incorporating process management functionality for increasing patient throughput and minimizing delays. Streamlining patient flow with AgileTrac Capacity Manager increases revenue by minimizing diversions, cancelled or delayed procedures, and extended stays that are not reimbursed, as well as enhancing patient safety and satisfaction by minimizing delays in delivering patient care.

While bed management dashboards have been marketed to hospitals for years, these legacy solutions have lacked facility-wide patient flow capability, user-configurable views and information flow, and management of all facility resources. These legacy solutions have also suffered from problematic data latency due to delayed information flow from other hospital systems and reliance on manual data input.
AgileTrac Capacity Manager offers a superior and truly unique solution that includes integrated RTLS technology for real-time data capture, enterprise visibility to patients, beds and rooms, assets, and staff, user-configurable views, and specific applications for surgical services, emergency department, and other departmental patient flow management. |
