Ambulance Management at a Hospital in South America

Background

The client is a hospital in South America with a large number of ambulances that contain various medicines and medical devices. Manual inventory management is inefficient and not conducive to timely assistance to patients. Manual operation and drug management have many steps, which is not only time-consuming, but also has the opportunity to make mistakes. If an emergency occurs in the ambulance, the hospital cannot know the real-time location of the ambulance and cannot provide assistance in time. The hospital can neither plan and optimize the route nor track the route.

Solution

Each ambulance is deployed with a V8 handheld UHF RFID reader, and all medicines and equipment on the vehicle are affixed with RFID tags.

Effect

1. Automatic inventory of medicines and equipment on the ambulance saves time and reduces errors.

2. The GPS of the handheld terminal can help the management center track the ambulance in real time. When the ambulance encounters an unexpected situation, the management center can also take timely action.

3. The efficiency of the ambulance has been improved, which can save more patients' lives.
