Many hospitals and health care services lose productivity every day through time wasted trying to find patients, staff or equipment. Many also purchase excess equipment to cover for misplaced or stolen items.
With demands on health care budgets never higher, it is vital that you have a system in place to make it as efficient as possible to find the people or equipment you need, exactly when they are required.
A Trailblazer™ locating solution is the answer. It will identify the precise whereabouts of patients, staff and equipment – and relay the information to you in user-friendly mapping data and text based reports. Geo-fences can be established to trigger an alert if the person or equipment moves beyond an approved zone.

How you can benefit from Trailblazer™
Patients |
You can identify the location of vulnerable patients such as newborns, children, high dependency, or those with a tendency to wander via our patient locating system. An alarm button is also included which will send an alert when pressed, in the event that the patient requires immediate help. |
Staff |
Our staff locating system enables you to identify the whereabouts of staff instantly, which means they can be found when they are needed. By using our pager featuring a two-way communication screen, you can communicate with your staff via a menu of text choices. Staff security is also improved through the inclusion of an alarm feature, which they can trigger if they require back-up. |
Equipment |
Many healthcare services purchase around 10% more equipment than they need to cover for theft or inefficiencies caused by not being able to find the equipment quickly. This can be avoided by fitting a locatable tag to your equipment, meaning you can find it in an instant. Departments can make sure they have the equipment they need on hand at all times, by receiving an alert if it moves beyond an approved zone or if essential equipment is missing from a ward inventory. Tags include light and motion sensors so you can receive an alert if the equipment is moved beyond an approved zone (or into an unauthorised area) or if the tag is tampered with, all of which safeguards against theft. |
Cost effective with unlimited capacity to expand
Our Trailblazer™ Wireless locating solution is configured on the IEEE 802.15.4 standard which means – particularly for small to medium hospitals and health care services – that it is highly cost effective and can be implemented quickly and easily.
It offers an unlimited capability to expand to any size building or office and can even be utilised in outdoor areas. The entire system is capable of running completely on long-life battery power. It also runs independently to your existing network, meaning there is no disruption to your operations nor reduction to your available bandwidth as would occur with a Wi-Fi (802.11) locating solution. Our Trailblazer™ Wireless locating is a Real Time Locating System (RTLS), and identifies the whereabouts of people or assets carrying the tracking device in real time.
A Trailblazer™ Wireless locating solution will make it easier for you to find your patients, staff and equipment instantly – which will reduce costs, improve security and increase your organisation’s efficiency.
GPS tracking system for mobile workers
For your employees such as community workers who work beyond your facility, you can choose to have our Trailblazer™ GPS position reporting software integrated into a mobile phone (depending upon its operating system and its inclusion of a GPS receiver). This combines the convenience of phone and tracking functionality into a single device. Phone calls can be limited by restricting out-calls to an approved list of telephone numbers. In this way, you are able to identify the location of community based staff, whilst providing the convenience of a mobile phone. Expenses are therefore contained to those relevant to your organisation and costs are controlled.
Alternatively, your mobile employees can be equipped with a Trailblazer™ GPS Personal Tracker which will identify their location when they are working in the field. Their safety is also improved by the inclusion of a panic button that will automatically make contact with a pre-determined phone number if triggered. Back-up or assistance can then be deployed immediately, aided by having real time information about the location of your nearest staff.
Trailblazer™ offers a total locating solution for the healthcare industry, enabling you to efficiently identify the precise location of your patients, staff, and equipment at all times.
