The Webinar Wednesday presentation “How Ochsner Lafayette General Medical Center Optimized Hospital Operations with Asset Tracking Technology” sponsored by Cox Prosight was eligible for 1 credit from the ACI.
As health care continues to become more and more patient-centric, hospitals and health systems must evaluate how their workflows are impacting the patient experience and what role technology plays in optimizing workflows. Presenters Jaiganesh Balasubramanian and Patrick Thibodeaux discussed how hospitals, like Ochsner Lafayette General Medical Center (OLG), are leveraging asset tracking solutions to optimize and modernize workflows and ultimately improve the patient experience.
Balasubramanian and Thibodeaux shared valuable insights, including some use cases that asset tracking can address within hospitals as well as the benefits of an asset tracking solution used to optimize hospital operations and streamline workflows. They shared how to expand beyond asset tracking solutions and fully leverage the investment in a hospital along with best practices from OLG on how to innovate and scale with RTLS technology.
During a question-and-answer session, one attendee asked, “Can we integrate existing software and systems into Cox Prosight?”
“Absolutely. There are a lot of integrations we currently support, and many more we’ll support in the future,” Thibodeaux said.
Another attendee asked, “how is Cox Prosight different from traditional RTLS platforms on the market?”
“A lot of key differences, but some to highlight include Cox Prosight is a full stack solution,” Thibodeaux said.
He explained that it provides cost savings because Cox Prosight’s approach is to have one vendor offer everything to provide seamless experience.
Another benefit deals with enhanced cybersecurity.
“We have put greater emphasis and designed our system to meet the latest regulations,” he said. “This makes the system very robust against cybersecurity and malware and other issues.”
“The third is affordability, with our solution being designed in the cloud, as well as using Bluetooth low energy. We feel that we have reduced the cost by over 50% on what it takes to deploy asset tracking, or a real-time location system for hospitals making it more affordable,” he said.
