Turning Visibility into Value

Web interface
Alert

AeroScout’s healthcare visibility solutions use stan dard Wi-Fi networks
to provide hospitals with improved patient care, in creased safety and
cost savings.
How Does it Work?
1. Wi-Fi-Based Active RFID tags send a tiny wireless 802.11 signal at a
regular interval
□
Tag’s messages consume less than 1/2msec, tags do not associate with Wi-Fi
access points and do not require thousands of IP ad dresses
2. Signal is received by the Wi-Fi access points, and is sent to a Location
Engine
3. The Location Engine determines the tag’s location, and sends it to the
visibility software
4. Visibility software uses location data to display maps and reports, enable
searches, create alerts, manage assets, etc.
Challenges
• Patient test results, organs, blood bags, vaccines , tissues, pharmaceuticals,
breast milk, food and other items require strict te mperature ranges for
quality patient care and patient safety
• Joint Commission regulates temperature management process
•
Medications must be stored under stable conditions
•
Temperature must be monitored and logged at least once per day
•
Records of temperature logs must be available for a 12 month period
•
In case of deviations, corrective actions must be t aken and documented
•
Audits are at least every three years plus random, unannounced audits
•
Semi-annual calibration requirements for temperatur e monitoring systems
• Nursing, lab and pharmacy staff perform manual temperature monitoring
and logging each day
•
Logging mechanisms are unreliable (lost data, gaps in data) and often expensive
•
Labor is utilized inefficiently
Challenges
•The Joint Commission primarily regulates the process of temperature
monitoring and not the desired ranges and as a result there are many
other regulatory bodies that are involved in setting the temperature
monitoring requirements to include:
•
CAP (College of American Pathologists)
•
AABB (American Association of Blood Banks)
•
CLIA (Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments; administered by CMS & FDA)
•
The Joint Commission (formerly JCAHO)
•
CMS (Medicare)
•
FDA (Food and Drug Agency)
•
NIST (National Institutes of Standards & Technology )
•The loss of The Joint Commission accreditation may result in the loss
Medicare and Medicaid reimbursement

Temperature Monitoring Solution
• Wi-Fi RFID Temperature Sensor Tags
•
AeroScout temperature sensor Wi-Fi tags are placed i n refrigerators
•
Provides constant temperature readings sent periodi cally as
customized (every x seconds or minutes)
•
No hard wires and easy to install
•
Battery powered tags and wireless communication link continue to
monitor even if there are power shortages in refrig eration units
•
Temperature range -30° Celsius to +75° Celsius
(-22° F to 167° F)
• Software
• AeroScout’s Web-based MobileView software tracks, alerts,
manages and integrates the temperatures and displays all of the
logged temperatures and alerts
AIncludes “Corrective Action” field to document notes for Joint
Commission compliance
ACustom properties can be used for calibration dates and
checkups
Registered
with the
FDA
Temperature Monitoring Solution
• Temperature Alert
- Automated alert when temperature is out of desired
range
• Other alerts include:
•
Tag Battery - alerts on low battery status of tags
•
Out of Sight – alerts on tags not reporting temperat ure readings for a certain
period of time
• Alert types include pop-up messages, e-mails, pagers, text messages, VOIP
phones and badges, and integration to hospital info rmation systems

Assumptions
General Assumptions • Medium to large sized hospital (approx. 300 beds)
• Labor cost of $50 per hour Temperature Monitoring
• 300 refrigerators, freezers and deep freezers
• Locating, checking and logging a refrigerator or f reezer temperature takes 5”
• Freezers, refrigerators and deep freezers are chec ked three times per day
• Five AeroScout Temperature Monitoring alerts will occur each day requiring manual
intervention
Step 2: Activate & Mount Tags
• Activate and configure AeroScout tags
• AeroScout T2 Tags are mounted or placed inside
refrigerators and freezers
Step 3: Configure Event Monitors
• Configure dozens of event monitors through a user friendly interface:
•
Temperature thresholds
•
Tamper events (if tag is removed without permission from refrigerator)
•
Out of sight events – when tag messages have not been sent for a long time
•
Low battery events
Step 3: Configure Event Monitors
•
Use Temperature tab under
“Sensors” to Enable/disable
temperature sensor reports.
•
Set the temperature report
interval (report every X tag
messages)
•
Report temperature only
according to a specified
threshold (higher than, lower
than etc.)
•
Corrective action logging for
when temperature leaves
desired range
Step 3: Configure Event Monitors
• Event Monitor will trigger an alert each time the temperature reported by a
tag meets one of the following criteria:
•
Higher or lower than the defined threshold
•
Inside or outside of the defined range
• Event Condition sets the filter to a desired level of sensitivity
•
Eliminates false triggers – for example if a refrige rator door is opened, a trigger
will only be noted if the reading is for a defined consecutive period
Step 3: Configure Event Monitors
• Define actions to be taken once event conditions a re met:
•
Email
•
Pager
•
Text message
•
VOIP phone or badge
•
Other applications – through Web Services, HTTP, JMS
