Hospital and medical device inventory tracking software saves you time and cuts costs. With the asset tracking operations and automation these systems provide, you’ll be able to:

• Lose fewer assets
• Track asset finances
• Manage asset maintenance
• Save time on audits
• And more!

What does hospital and medical device inventory tracking software entail? The ability to log, view, and monitor your assets with ease and a higher level of transparency.

Asset tracking is the process of logging your assets as unique digital profiles onto an online software. This way, you get a one to one view of how your assets are behaving.

In other words, if an asset has an issue, you’ll be able to log this against the asset itself amongst other data. This creates a robust and transparent view of what status all of your assets are in.

Then, you’ll be able to implement functionality which speeds up your asset tracking operations. Your asset tracking software will come with a variety of features that allow you to book assets, run audits, and monitor asset behaviour with ease.

First of all, you’ll be able to improve your existing operations with hospital and medical device inventory tracking software. One of these will be maintenance.

Pre-emptive and reactive maintenance can cause significant disruption if not handled correctly and transparently. Without a robust system in place, it’s easy to lose track of which assets have issues and when they need to be fixed.

Asset tracking software allows you to monitor necessary maintenance with reminders and issues management. Reminders notify you when a piece of equipment needs to undergo necessary and routine maintenance where an issues management system indicates to your maintenance team which assets have issues, where they are, and specifically what the issue is.

You can also couple this with an effective check in check out system. When it’s time to indicate that an asset is no longer available, you’ll be able to check it out to indicate this.

Asset tags allow you to bring your inventory management to the next level. Simply by using a smartphone or RFID reader, you’ll be able to retrieve assets on your asset tracking app with a simple scan.

Therefore, in practice, you’ll be able to report issues and check assets out when you’re physically with the asset. All you need to do is scan the tag and hit a button and the change will be recorded instantly for all of your colleagues to see.

In a hospital, QR code and barcode scanning may not always be applicable. Using passive RFID tags allows you to get the same benefits of QR code asset management from a distance, meaning you can still audit equipment without disrupting patients.

Fixed RFID asset management takes your hospital and medical device inventory tracking to the next level. With fixed RFID asset tracking, you’ll be able to audit asset locations automatically, with no physical interactions necessary.

itemit is a world-first system for this. Using Zebra’s FX7500 RFID reader and itemit you will be able to set up your fixed RFID tracking system quickly, with ease, and in a low-cost way. In the past, set up times would have been lengthy and disruptive and the system would be blocked behind high-costs and investment.

When your itemit fixed RFID asset tracking system is set up, whenever an asset moves between locations this change will automatically be logged. This way, you’ll know exactly how all of your assets are moving within your hospital and exactly where they are.

1. Scan And Update Data In Your Asset Tracking System
2. Speed Up And Improve Asset Audits
3. Greater Transparency For Your Fixed Asset Management Operations

Equipment tags help you speed up your asset tracking operations, allowing you to keep a closer eye on everything you own. Equipment tagging opens up many time and cost-saving strategies, including auditing abilities and location tracking capabilities.

So, how are equipment tags going to take your equipment management to the next level? Quite simply by giving you many ways to speed up and improve your business’ existing operations.

The first use that will change the way you work is the ability to view and edit information quickly and with ease. Each of your assets will have a unique profile on your asset tracking software. Then, you’ll be able to link these digital profiles to their physical counterparts with asset tags.

This is helpful in all manner of equipment tracking operations. Whether it’s IT asset management operations or simply tools and equipment tracking, having the ability to scan and edit the asset in front of you removes a manual element.

For example, if you notice one of your assets has an issue, the process of reporting this to your maintenance team is fast, simple, and effective. All you need to do is scan the asset’s tag and hit the “report issue” button.

This removes the need for spreadsheets entirely, as you no longer need to manually record asset issues or information and update your fixed asset register separately.

Equipment tags also allow you to speed up and improve your audits. Using your asset tracking app, you’ll be able to verify that all of the assets that should be in a particular location exist there.

In practice, this is a speedy operation of hitting a button and then scanning all of your equipments’ tags. So, if you want to verify that assets that should still be on a shelf in your warehouse are there, you’ll be able to do this with ease.

Then, a similar function is the “quick add” feature, meaning you’ll be able to edit asset locations in bulk. In practice, if multiple assets are moving from one location to another, you’ll be able to use quick add to record this update.

As equipment tagging and tracking removes the need to use spreadsheets, you’ll be able to create an automated and simple set of operations to update all of your fixed asset management data.

All of this feeds into your asset management software, automatically updating an exportable and customisable fixed asset register. This means that you’ll be able to use your on-site asset tracking operations in your fixed asset management procedures. Then, you’ll be able to export your fixed asset register and use it for insurance and accounting purposes.

Then, with itemit, you can speed up your operations further by using fixed RFID asset management. This allows you to update asset locations with no manual input whatsoever.

1. Reduce Maintenance Times With Issues Management
2. Use Asset Tags To Speed Up Your Operations
3. Use Fixed Asset Management Operations To Improve Your Visibility

A tools tracking system allows you to keep a clearer view of which equipment you own, how it is behaving, where it is, and more. This transparency helps you save costs by cutting down on asset downtime and retrieval times, as well as helping you create a transparent asset register.

An effective tools tracking system will:

• Help you lose fewer assets
• Mitigate asset theft
• Mitigate ghost and zombie assets on your fixed asset register
• Speed up your operations
• Help you reduce asset retrieval times
• Help you maintain a clear view of what you own

So, what are some of the things you can do with an effective tools tracking system?

If you’re looking to implement construction asset management, healthcare tools tracking, or standard asset tracking software, you’ll need one that has an effective issues management system.

Issues management isn’t only crucial to the safety of your employees, but it will also help you cut costs on asset downtime. If you can track issues on an asset level, you’ll be able to see which assets need work instantly.

In practice, you’ll be able to view all of the assets which require maintenance in one place. Then, with the location tracking features your tools tracking system will also provide you with, you’ll be able to see exactly where the asset is.

This gives your maintenance team a clear and exact view of where your assets with issues are, allowing them to rectify any issues as soon as possible.

Asset tags also speed up your tool tracking operations. First, you’ll be able to log all of your assets as unique digital profiles on your asset tracking software, then you’ll be able to link the physical assets with their digital counterparts using asset tags.

Every time you scan an asset’s tag with your asset tracking app, three things will happen.

• The last seen location will update
• The user who scanned the asset will update
• The asset’s digital profile will open, ready for edits

If you’re running an audit and notice an asset is damaged, for example, all you need to do is scan the asset’s tag and hit a button to log this. Then, you’ll also be able to benefit from a variety of asset tagging functionality, such as speedy auditing and bulk edits.

You can also use GPS trackers and RFID systems with itemit to take your asset tracking to the next level.

Finally, you’ll be able to pull all of your tool tracking operations together with handy reporting features. This way, you’ll be able to view, export, and edit your fixed asset register.

You can export your reports as pdfs with pictures, for example, which is great for accounting and insurance operations. Then, you can track asset finances and movement separately or together all on one system.
