Hospitals today are faced with many challenges in their drive to provide quality patient care. To improve care they must increase staff and nursing efficiency — despite limited resources and a shortage of trained professionals — while at the same time controlling costs.

One of the biggest challenges is the need for nurses and other clinical staff to quickly and easily locate critical medical equipment such as IV pumps and ventilators. It is estimated that the inability to easily find equipment results in excessive inventory of Durable Medical Equipment (DME) by up to 25 percent. Consequently, nurses can spend up to 60 minutes of a shift simply looking for equipment instead of caring for patients. Compounding the problem, once the equipment is located it often needs to be repaired, sterilized or calibrated and cannot be used immediately. This puts a significant burden on an already limited staff of caretakers.

Equipment delays can also cause bottlenecks in patient flow, reducing the potential number of admittances to the hospital, resulting in lost revenue opportunities and affecting hospital operating margin.
