Arizona's University Medical Center (UMC)

Think very small, highly mobile or both. Think expensive to buy, rent or lease and essential to have when you need it. Today, upwards of 2,000 devices meeting at least one of these criteria are actively tracked and readily found at Tucson's University Medical Center (UMC) using Philips asset tracking solution. A year after launching the system hospital-wide, UMC finds itself on the cutting edge. Its partnership with Philips in deploying a Wi-Fi-based Active RFID solution from AeroScout has assured a solution customized for healthcare, one that will transform simple location data into sophisticated process improvement analysis.
