"With asset tracking, we now have an appropriately-sized inventory in which we can realize year-to-year savings," Doran added.

Williamson Medical Center began using IntelliMotion in 2003. "The staff had difficulty fulfilling equipment requests. IntelliMotion is part of our equipment management program that will inform us of where equipment is located and when that occurred" according to Jimmie Carol Hyman, Materials Management Director.

For the 185-bed hospital, Hyman can document how often equipment is used, further decreasing the total volume of leased or purchased equipment while simultaneously increasing utilization of existing devices. "We have already seen a decrease in the time it takes for nurses to locate equipment, with a corresponding increase in patient satisfaction," added Hyman. "Nurses are able to devote more time to patient care."

The Real Time Location System (RTLS) technology in IntelliMotion is certified in over 30 countries with over 100 major companies worldwide utilizing this solution. IntelliMotion technology is fully compliant with ANSI INCITS 371 and ISO 24730 Part 1 and 2 standards.
