TPC Healthcare and Ekahau Join Forces to Provide Wi-Fi Location Technologies
October 23, 2007
Regional technology solutions provider, TPC Healthcare has chosen Ekahau (www.ekahau.com) as their premier vendor to deliver location technologies to healthcare clients. Ekahau is a recognized leader in location-enabling, enterprise Wi-Fi networks. As the most recent addition to TPC’s comprehensive suite of healthcare solutions, TPC chose Ekahau’s real-time location system to help hospitals seeking efficient, cost-effective solutions for locating people, assets, inventory and other objects more quickly using wireless enterprise networks.
Ekahau provides technology that works especially well in healthcare settings that have deployed wireless VOIP, essentially maximizing investments already made in hospital IT infrastructure. “Location technologies are the logical next step for customers who are currently experimenting with wireless voice,” says Kenny Schiff, Managing Partner, TPC Healthcare, Inc.
By working with TPC Healthcare, hospitals can leverage the expertise of a wireless solutions provider, as well as a leader in location technology, to track valuable assets and equipment and improve levels of security and customer service.
For example, the technology can be used to track the location of medical devices needed for inspection or repair or to find missing equipment needed for clinical procedures, which can directly impact patient safety. Location technologies also track wireless laptops, PDAs, VOIP phones, Wi-Fi tags and other devices to ensure tagged equipment stays within the confines of the hospital.
With location technology solutions in place, hospitals can track patients or can locate clinical staff throughout the facility in real time and the physical locations of those assets can be recorded over time.
Computerized systems for tracking assets are just now being introduced in healthcare; however, these applications are growing. TPC Healthcare is poised to help you explore exciting new innovations in location technology.
