Improving Operating Efficiency and Care

through Technology

The NexT Wave of RTLS

For tracking capital mobile assets,

hospitals increasingly are turning

to Real-time Location Services

(RTLS). SkyTrac Centralized Clinical

Inventory Management System

(CIMS) is the next wave of RTLS:

A real-time consumable assets

tracking system.

SkyTrac CIMS leverages RFID

and network technologies to track

and manage consumable assets.

You can view online the data

collected from RFID tags, readers

and smart cabinets and track

inventory throughout every

stage of care.

the advantageS of Supply chain viSibility

Now you can Control Costs and Improve Care at the Same Time

Controlling costs while maintaining high quality patient care is an ongoing

healthcare challenge. Skytron’s SkyTrac is an efficient inventory management

system that gives healthcare facilities complete SUPPLY CHAIN VISIBILITY to

create and maintain an effective cost-quality balance.

Supply chain visibility, coupled with business intelligence, will give your facilities

the tools needed to have the right products on hand when needed and give you

real-time information as to how and where they are being used. SkyTrac will

solve under- and overstocking, prevent shrinkage and help you to increase revenue

by tracking consumables at the patient point of care. SkyTrac even alerts you

to expired consumables; mitigating major regulatory and patient safety risks.

How It Works A smart tag is attached to item packaging or device.

Skytron’s SkyTrac smart cabinets with built-in RFID antennas and processors count inventory

every 30 minutes. Cabinets come in many configurations – standing bins, hanging cabinets

and mobile carts.

Use is captured at the point of care, rather than point of retrieval, for more accurate charge

capture and easier inventory reconciliation.

Automated replenishment is based on actual rate of product usage, expiration dates and

existing inventory.

Hospital Systems that have implemented SkyTrac Technology have saved over 500 staff hours

annually not having to count and reconcile inventory, reduced inventory by as much as 30%, identified

50% more missing and lost items and experienced savings of $350,000 to $750,000 per year by

simply buying differently and leveraging bulk pricing with the help of SkyTrac usage analytics.*

Seamless integration with HIS, EMR

and ERP systems for unilateral visibility

and elimination of redundant data entry

to increase operational efficiency.

optimized Workflow through the

elimination of manual data entry and

a reduction in the time it takes to retrieve

products during procedures resulting in

improved patient focus and service.

enhanced business intelligence at

the touch of a button including predictive

modeling, product usage cost analysis

with reporting and analytical abilities that

provide crucial decision support.

improved compliance made easier

from tissue tracking and implants

registration to continuous product inventory

and usage monitoring to ensure dated

products are compliant and satisfies

Joint Commission guidelines established

to improve patient safety.

increased efficiency smart cabinets identify

expiring and missing products and provide

alerts when products are removed,

streamlining re-ordering and rightsizing

inventory to reduce supply cost.

Inventory ControlSkyTrac’s online application gives you real time alerts for expired, missing and recalled items. With the

click of the mouse you can see what items are expired or are going to expire and where they are located.

You can change the date range to see up to 365 days out what will expire and when. We also give you

an alert if an item has been removed from the cabinet and is not used during a procedure. To date,

every new installation we have done, SkyTrac technology has found expired items sitting in inventory.

“ I tracked inventory pretty closely before, but there were

always a few products that were unaccounted for.

With WaveMark Technology, I know exactly what I have,

how much and when I need to reorder, and immediately

know if something is missing.” Raul navarro

to set your own timeframes and parameters that work

best with your purchasing system.
