Over one million babies are protected every year by a unique but simple to deploy technology called Hugs®. Once the baby's tag is attached, the child is automatically enrolled in the system helping hospitals monitor the baby's whereabouts, heartbeat and secured identification between mother and child.
By developing expertise around the infant, Stanley Healthcare was able to expand its impact on healthcare by using the approach to develop protections around other patient populations. And just in time. Hospitals all over the country are attempting to extend individual patient protection across a wide spectrum of needs.
From infants to the mentally challenged; from senior citizens to teenagers, tracking the whereabouts of patients can help protect lives as well as ensure proper care.
Steve Elder, a Stanley Communications Specialist, says Stanley's vision for 2020 is to be a leader in the convergence between systems and needs. "It is important that the systems are able to track the data between them. The use cases are multiplying. A nurse may be walking around with a tag to ensure that patient activities are tracked, which can feed the billing system as well as provide intelligence around workflow. As well, equipment can be tagged, providing the means to access the right asset at the time of need."
"Our clients are the physicians, the nurses, the nurse practitioners and the workflow and information that ties them together", said Elder. "We will continue to respond to their needs by bringing the right security solutions to them, when they need them."
With over 1,000 client sites around the United States as well as a significant presence in the Pacific Northwest through its integrator, Aronson Security Group, Stanley is poised to continue to deliver quality healthcare solutions.
