• Adding a welcoming, dedicated staff member whose sole purpose is to address workplace violence and foster a safe working environment for all.
• Engaging staff at all levels of the organization in developing safety strategies.

Establishing a secure environment is critical to fostering peace of mind for all and enabling staff to concentrate more effectively on patient needs. Gaining insights from the relevant departments into team challenges is key to successfully and effectively implementing new technology and safety protocols. Leadership must invest in the crucial and foundational solutions provided by RTLS to de-escalate environmental stressors and ensure safety.


Plan your roadmap with intention and invest in the right foundation
Once a healthcare organization has a clear understanding of its current challenges, the most effective path to achieving lasting value is through a personalized, forward-looking approach. This means aligning existing workflows and pain points with a strategic 3–5-year roadmap developed in collaboration with an experienced RTLS partner. Look for providers that work with former healthcare professionals as these individuals bring firsthand knowledge to address hospital pain points. By choosing a strategic partner that brings to the table a comprehensive suite of solutions, field experience, and customized roadmaps tailored to each healthcare system, organizations can more easily scale from initial workflow solutions to other use cases, such as staff duress, and ensure minimal rework or downtime.

By partnering with a solution provider offering an advanced and interoperable suite, teams can future-proof the investment and seamlessly scale as necessary. For a foundation with even better scaling options, a clinical-grade RTLS with built-in Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) multi-mode technology offers hybrid architecture that can significantly boost efficiency for organizations aiming to balance precise location monitoring and patient care with cost-effectiveness and staff support. The hybrid system can benefit healthcare facilities of any size by switching between BLE and other, more precise location offerings by utilizing a mixed RTLS infrastructure within a single department or across an entire hospital campus.

Lay a strong foundation and grow it
Healthcare systems can explore exciting innovations once a strong, strategic foundation is in place. Second to high-quality outcomes, patients are eager for technology that delivers on-demand information and other technologies that enhance their stay, peace of mind, and experience.
