Abstract :

The quality of care may vary from country to country but hospitals share many of the same problems: Navigating maze-like structures causes frustration for patients and visitors, sometimes resulting in late arrivals and missed appointments; hiring new staff means understanding they may have trouble navigating to a specific room during an emergency, putting patients at risk; finding colleagues can be very time consuming and; redundant purchasing of expensive medical equipment because locating them in emergencies is problematic. In this session, Christian Lundquist, CEO and Co-Founder of SenionLab- A cutting edge indoor positioning company, will discuss the benefits of indoor positioning systems for hospitals. Benefits of such systems include: A patient wayfinding app that helps alleviate lost patients or visitors by providing directions to the appointment from the current position of the patient or visitor; staff member alerts with directions to where they need to be, which can be critical in emergency situations; asset management capabilities, offering vastly improved control of the equipment inventory and maintenance by knowing the location of each item and whether it is in use. In this session, Mr. Lundquist also will discuss the seemingly endless application possibilities for indoor positioning, including how it can help health care professionals track where patients and staff have been, which is crucial in infection containment. He will also discuss the indoor positioning technologies that are available today that make these applications possible.
