The aim of the convention is to emphasise the important role that information technology plays in maintaining sustainable, high quality aged care services.
“With the age of our population on the increase, Aged Care service providers are under pressure to achieve more and more within constrained resources,” said
Locating Technologies’ Sales Manager, Bruce Wong. “The ITAC convention offers a tremendous opportunity to showcase the Trailblazer™ Wireless locating
solution – and to demonstrate how it delivers substantial improvements in efficiency, as well as making it easier for organisations to fulfill their duty of care
responsibilities to residents,” he said.
The Trailblazer™ Wireless locating solution is configured on the IEEE 802.15.4 standard which means
– particularly for small to medium aged care services – that it is highly cost effective and can be implemented quickly and easily.
“Aged Care service providers can instantly access valuable data about the whereabouts and movement of their residents and personnel,” said Wong. “It is
particularly useful for facilities looking after residents with dementia. Geo-fences can be established that will enable an alert to be transmitted to management if a
person moves outside an approved area,” he said.
Equipment can also be located immediately, meaning that time previously spent looking for it is eliminated.
“We are delighted to be a Silver Sponsor for the ITAC convention and look forward to describing the many efficiency and security benefits an Aged Care facility will
obtain by installing a Trailblazer™ Wireless locating solution,” said Wong.
