Older Technology Has an Opportunity Cost “If it isn’t broken, don’t fix it,” goes the old adage, but in the case of vehicle access control technology, there may be good reasons to “fix” older systems still in operation. Historically, vehicle access control systems have been based on radio transmitter, keypad, barcode or license plate recognition technology. When RFID came on the scene, it revealed major lost opportunities. In one tolling Continue Reading...

With hospitals now limiting family member access to hospitals, it has become more important to use technology to keep family members updated on patient progress. It is a winning combination when the same technology can also improve operations and patient care. Tracking how much time patients spent in each area of the surgery department was a manual and time-consuming process for SunnyBrook Health Sciences Center. Yet the information was important for utilization reporting, staffing models, scheduling and patient flow…all critical elements for improving patient experience. In critical situations when every second counted, manual processes made fast decisions nearly impossible. Family members needing updates on patient progress would contact caregivers, taking up valuable patient care time. Continue Reading...
