Abstrakt

The healthcare system today faces numerous challenges due to lack of visibility of resources and low utilisation, excessive rental as well as purchase of medical equipment. The article attempts to identify the possibilities of implementing a system of identification and location of assets in healthcare system institutions. This research presents market analysis in the context of available technological solutions. The implementation of real-time location system (RTLS) would enable not only tracking of equipment and inventory in medical facilities, but also increase visibility of inventory and manage the entire supply chain. Presentation of the proposed solution made it possible to assess costs, potential savings and the implementation process. This article is a starting point for a discussion on the cost-effectiveness of using RTLS in the healthcare system.
