Cutting Hospital Downtime with EMR & Asset Tracking

Cutting Hospital Downtime with EMR & Asset Tracking

Boost hospital efficiency and reduce delays with cutting-edge hospital asset management software and EMR integrations that help your staff track and utilize critical healthcare resources in real-time.

Experiencing downtime in hospitals doesn’t mean things are slowing down; it is pretty serious, considering the risk of delayed medical attention and patient care. When staff can’t locate medical records and life-saving equipment, consider those critical moments lost to the hospital system’s inefficiencies. 

That is why smart hospitals invest in integrated solutions like hospital asset management software and an EMR system. 

Hmmm… ‘Can’t Find That Equipment?’

Observe a bustling ER corridor, and you will start to pick out that question en masse. Missing or misplaced medical implements, tools, vital monitors, and even a lost wheelchair can cause delays that can last hours. It would be crude to call it inefficient because such a dangerous delay in medical care and facilitation is the difference between a positive review and a medical negligence lawsuit.

With asset management software, any equipment, tool, or item is tagged and tracked in real time. Among numerous benefits, the staff knows exactly where to find what they need, and maintenance teams can easily identify which equipment needs service to avoid mid-shift breakdowns. 

Where Do EMRs Fit In?

Also called Electronic Medical Records, this software system does more than just hold patient records; it makes these records accessible to multiple teams working in unison. Given instant access and real-time updates to authorized physicians, nurses, and specialists, they can make medically informed decisions on dispensing treatment without any delays or confusion.

There is no more shuffling around dark and damp records-keeping to look for old lab results, medical histories, or medication logs; everything is available efficiently and accurately to guide informed decisions. 

And it gets better when your EMR software system is integrated with asset tracking. 

Systems Integration – Synergy In Healthcare Systems

Here is where the actual coordination magic happens. When you combine records management with asset tracking systems in hospitals, you’re scaling your operations to be more than efficient. It’s a coordinated omnipresence that allows tracking and leaves a reliable trace. Think of the benefits:

  • The asset management systems show which equipment is needed and where it is located/stocked.
  • Billing and equipment supply logs update automatically based on usage. 
  • The system can also trigger maintenance alerts for equipment due for service.
  • Nurses can keep abreast of patients scheduled for procedures via the EMR. 

The key takeaway is that there will be no communication breakdowns, wasted time, or lost equipment. Then, it’s all about dispensing care to those who need it most. 

Minimal Downtime, More Uptime

Keeping everything running when it matters is the primary goal of every healthcare facility. With better asset tracking and real-time access to both medical resources and patient records, hospitals can:

  • Bring down longer wait times for equipment
  • Minimize delays in scheduled treatment
  • Improved staff and medical personnel coordination
  • Fewer unplanned outages or erroneous double bookings

It all comes down to every minute saved mattering for the benefit of patient outcomes!
