AgileTrac ED

AgileTrac ED is an innovative RTLS-enabled solution that allows you to track, manage, measure and improve patient flow and utilization of resources throughout the emergency department process, from registration to admission or discharge. Benefits of AgileTrac ED include:

• Improved quality of care by accelerating patient care cycle
• Reduced ED diversions
• Reduced patient overcrowding
• Reduced number of patients leaving without being seen
• Enhanced patient satisfaction
• Streamlining discharges
• Minimized use of temporary overflow areas
• Increased staff productivity and satisfaction

The Institute of Medicine released a report called Hospital-Based Emergency Care: At the Breaking Point in June 2006 describing the nation's emergency medical system as a whole as "overburdened, underfunded, and highly fragmented" resulting in extreme patient diversion, waiting times, and compromised care. See report highlights. AgileTrac ED is specifically designed to address the challenges facing emergency departments.

AgileTrac ED utilizes RTLS technology to provide milestone tracking of patient status. Patient flow is managed through a workflow engine which integrates with rules to provide status updates, alerts and notifications as patients and resources move through emergency department processes. System features include:

• Integrated RTLS technology automates patient status and milestone tracking
• Multiple user-configurable views into real-time status and location of resources including map, tabular and dashboard views
• Views can be combined on a screen or opened to a full-screen for a big board view.
• Rules-based alerts and notifications to all participants in the patient care process
• Multiple facility capability allows monitoring of system level capacity
• Flexible, configurable workflow engine that can manage multiple processes simultaneously
• Utilization of AgileTrac Capacity Manager ensures seamless facility-wide patient flow management
• As a web-based solution, AgileTrac requires no client installation for easy deployment across the enterprise.
