The Importance of Expert-Led Guidance Throughout Your RTLS Journey
“You don’t need to be good at many things, focus on mastering one.” This phrase is why many hospitals decide to use a consulting service for multiple aspects of their business. There are many layers to healthcare – patient care, patient experience, finance, operations, etc. We can’t expect staff members to be experts in all fields. Typically, an RTLS solution is a combination of RTLS hardware, RTLS software applications, and integrations to several other healthcare systems, such as nurse call, CMMS, or EHR. In addition, RTLS is not just a technology solution; it is deeply intertwined with many operational processes and deploying and managing it in-house without prior experience can result in RTLS system deterioration or missed opportunities to deliver value back to your organization, patients, and staff. That is where selecting a partner that can provide expert guidance and training comes in. By having RTLS experts look after your program, you will have access to all best practices occurring across the industry to avoid making the same mistakes others have made in the past; costly mistakes that can cost you a lot from the financial and user adoption perspectives.
