RTLS 2024: How Organizations Are Broadening Their Use Cases
29 July 24
Historically, healthcare organizations have primarily used real-time location system (RTLS) solutions to track assets and equipment. However, with the recent advancements and improved usability of RTLS technology, many organizations are moving beyond established use cases (e.g., asset tracking) to focus on emerging use cases (e.g., hand hygiene tracking) as well. When organizations have several use cases for their RTLS technology, they see a broader set of outcomes and tend to be more satisfied with their solution. This report examines customer experiences with their RTLS vendors and shares case studies from individual organizations leveraging their RTLS technology to achieve critical outcomes.

Reducing Filters

Unlike sizing filters, reducing filters DO NOT recalculate scores based on the evaluations that meet these requirements. They narrow the list of solutions to show the vendors and solutions that can meet a specific need.

This data is based on interviews with a sample of the firms' recent clients. As a result, it is not necessarily comprehensive of all work a firm may do in this segment.

We require a minimum of 2 confirmations of a service performed in the last 3 years for a solution to qualify.
