Midmark RTLS sponsored the Webinar Wednesday presentation “Mixing it Up: Combining Accurate and Zonal Location for Campus-Wide RTLS” on January 29. The presentation by Timothy Killmer, information systems analyst at Billings Clinic in Montana, was approved for 1 credit from the ACI.
The webinar discussed how real-time locating systems (RTLS) have become more prevalent in health care. Killmer spoke about how biomedical and clinical engineering teams are at the forefront of selecting the right RTLS technology for their hospitals. Yet, there are differing technologies used for RTLS, and their capabilities vary. Killmer shared how the Billings Clinic applied two different RTLS technologies to solve its asset challenges. He explored the pros and cons of different technologies and what can be achieved with each.
Almost 200 people joined the live presentation and a recording of the webinar is available online where additional HTM professionals can watch the insightful seminar.
Attendees provided positive feedback in a post-webinar survey in which they were also asked to describe the webinar in three words. Many attendees needed more that three words to express their thoughts.
