Utilizing real-time location system technology for tracking staff can greatly improve capacity management, operational workflow, and patient care by providing visibility and real-time notification of staff status and activities to other staff members. AgileTrac Staff Manager facilitates prioritization of staff activities, optimization of resources, and timely communication of staff activities and requirements. System features include:

• Tracking and process management for consult, transport, housekeeping, and other staff requests
• Staff assignment to shifts and patients
• User-configurable alerts and notification of patient milestones and workflow activities
• User-configurable views of staff location and status
• Visual cues and flags to identify staff status and actions pending or required

The utilization of RTLS technology for tracking the location of staff members can be a controversial issue as staff may have a negative perception of "big brother" visibility to their activities. While this perception is understandable, utilization of RTLS-enabled solutions can provide streamlined workflow, enhanced communication between all participants in the patient care cycle, and real-time visibility to activities and resources, which can minimize many of the typical frustrations facing hospital staff. Staff members will only embrace the use of this technology if it truly makes their jobs better.

AgileTrac Staff Manager functionality does not require staff members to be tracked with RTLS devices to utilize many of the core functions of the system. RTLS tracking does provide a higher level of organization capability.
