Dipole, number one in RFID solutions for hospital management

In the health and healthcare sector, effectiveness, patient safety and process optimisation are crucial.

Dipole RFID offers a comprehensive solution for hospital management with RFID technology that aims to improve efficiency, control inventory, increase patient protection and manage assets.

With RFID technology, hospitals can automate their processes, reduce human error and improve patient care.

Customised RFID solutions for hospitals

Hospital Asset Management

In the hospital environment, asset control is essential to ensure efficient healthcare and patient safety. 

By identifying each item with RFID tags, medical staff no longer have to document every movement as it is detected by RFID antennas and readers and sent to the management system or ERP used in the hospital, keeping track of its location and status at all times.

Hospitals can track and control a wide variety of assets that can be used in a hospital such as prosthetics, consumables, medical equipment, samples, uniforms or medicines.

Inventory management

Inventory management is crucial in a hospital to ensure the availability of critical medical supplies.

RFID tags placed on each item ensure that all movements are recorded in the system. By controlling inventory, we optimise stock levels by managing both procurement and the correct distribution of materials in the hospital, reducing costs, avoiding human error and providing better quality care for patients.

Smart inventory

Smart Inventory by Dipole is a solution based on fully automating an operating theatre or a hospital warehouse with RFID technology, allowing unitary traceability of all tagged and identified items inside.

Dipole's technical team carries out a preliminary study in which the space is strategically analysed, assessing the position and quantity of antennas and RFID readers required in the intervention areas to guarantee correct reading.

With the RFID labels or RFID tags previously placed on each object; consumables, prostheses, or assets, and together with RFID application software that can be fully integrated with the hospital's management system or ERP, all the captured data can be managed in an automated way, guaranteeing the correct flow of material.

Monitoring and identification of patients with RFID Wristbands

Dipole designs RFID wristbands for hospitals which allow constant and uninterrupted monitoring of their location and status.

The RFID tags that are integrated into the wristbands can be encoded with the patient's personal information; allergies, medical tests, medication, location...

This data is managed by software and allows us to track patients eliminating the possibility of medical malpractice and misrecognition.

Using these RFID wristbands, we will know the exact identity of the patient and their route within the hospital, significantly improving the efficiency in the admission and discharge processes and controlling in real time the monitoring of the processes that are carried out daily, reducing waiting time and ensuring quality care.

In short, by applying RFID technology in a hospital we guarantee:

• Automated inventories: Having the assets identified, we can see in the management system if the material has been used or not. You optimise material purchases with a controlled stock, save costs and time and ensure that you always have the material you need.
• Traceability and location of assets: In the management system or ERP we can see the location of the equipment we want and control all the material flows. 
• You can detect consumption and allocate it to customers: When you use a prosthesis, or a consumable in an intervention area, we will be able to know with which patient it has been used, impute it and thus have a more exhaustive control.
• Precise information on each patient: By identifying each patient, we will have a complete record of their entry, exit and clinical report.
• Regulatory compliance: With Dipole's RFID solutions, hospitals can ensure comprehensive traceability and proper regulatory compliance. RFID tags ensure accurate tracking and recording of assets, medications and samples, which aids reporting and ensures compliance with applicable regulations and standards in the healthcare sector.

All our solutions include:

• RFID tags or labels to track the movement of products/batches until shipment.
• RFID readers to scan and read RFID tags or labels.
• A middleware fully adaptable with the customer's ERP or management system, which allows access to the information collected along the production chain.

In conclusion, RFID technology is key in hospital management, offering multiple benefits, guaranteeing effectiveness, patient safety, regulatory compliance and process optimisation.
