Medical equipment management software is well suited to a busy environment. You’ll be able to use medical equipment management software to automate many of your essential operations, while also keeping an accurate and up-to-date asset register.

Therefore, medical equipment management software has many benefits, all related to keeping your assets up and running and keeping your operations fast and cost-effective.

Save Time On Asset Operations

Because of how medical equipment management software works, you’ll be able to save a lot of time on your audits and operations.

You’ll be able to tag your assets and link them to digital doubles in your asset management system. Then, every time you scan an asset’s tag, you’ll be able to view, edit, and update any relevant data.

Therefore, if you notice a piece of medical equipment requires maintenance, reporting this to your maintenance team is a simple process of scanning the asset’s tag and pressing “report issue”. Then, you’ll be able to log what the issue is and add images of the damage.

All of your medical equipment management software features will work in this way. Logging, viewing, and editing data only takes the scan of an asset tag.

Every scan will also update the asset’s last seen location, showing you a neat audit trail of where all of your assets have been.

Keep A Visible Asset Register

When you’ve logged all of your assets, you’ll be able to view, customise, and manage your asset register via a streamlined reporting system. These reports can be exported as PDFs and sent to anyone, from your finance team to your insurance teams.

The benefit of this is that every change you make in your medical equipment management app will be reflected in these reports in real-time. Therefore, you’ll keep your asset register accurate and up to date without any additional work.

You’ll also be able to put your asset register to immediate use by logging reminders against assets for preemptive maintenance. So, not only will you be able to maintain all of the data you need, but you’ll also be able to use it in visible, practical ways.

Automate Your Medical Equipment Management

Full automation is also possible when it comes to medical equipment management if you opt for a fixed RFID system. With fixed RFID asset tracking, you’ll be able to log where assets are automatically, without any manual input.

If a piece of equipment moves between wards, for example, your fixed RFID readers will pick up on the fact that the asset is moving, as well as the direction it is heading in.

This way, you can create a robust asset management system for your medical equipment without requiring any manual input, saving you time and money in the process.

When you’re implementing your asset tracking software, you’ll find that your assets need to be unique. Therefore, you’ll need to use unique asset tags to identify your assets.

This is why you might find that your barcodes aren’t working. As many barcodes contain pricing information, you may discover that they don’t scan into your asset tracking software properly. 

You’ll need to use unique asset tags to track and manage your assets. This way, you’ll be able to maintain your data and keep a better eye over your assets.

Your Asset Tag Options

With simple asset management software, you’ll be able to tag your assets with a variety of different types of tag. Each tags have slightly different functionality and usage benefits.

Barcodes

Barcode asset tags are the most basic way to track your assets. Simply add your unique barcodes to your assets and scan them into your system. This way, you’ll be able to manage your assets quickly and with ease.

QR Codes

QR code asset tags work in a very similar way to barcodes; only they can hold more information. It’s much more transparent with QR codes, however, as you can guarantee uniquity with much greater ease.

QR codes and barcodes are also customisable, so you’ll be able to purchase metal asset tags to ensure that the assets going through wear and tear and weathering can still be accounted for.

To find out more about the differences between QR codes and barcodes, you can read our blog on QR codes Vs. Barcodes.

RFID Tags

RFID tags allow you to have more automation and scan from a greater distance. QR code asset tags and barcodes require a line of sight to scan. RFID tags, however, do not.

The caveat to this is that you’ll need to use external hardware to track and manage your RFID tags, as your phone won’t have a built-in RFID scanner.

However, when it comes to high-value asset tracking for example, RFID is much more viable as a use case, as you’ll be able to hide RFID tags in a way that you can’t hide QR codes or barcodes.

GPS Trackers

GPS trackers will give you the fullest functionality for asset management, as you’ll be able to track your assets in a hands-free, automated way.

Your GPS trackers will periodically update, showing you where your assets are. You’ll also be able to use geofencing to track when your assets are leaving certain locations, helping you mitigate theft and asset loss.

Why Do Asset Tags Need To Be Unique?

These asset tags need to be unique so that you can add certain, specific data to your assets. The ability to link unique assets to their tags allows you to track them as unique entities.

So, if an asset is damaged, you’ll be able to specify which asset is damaged and where it is thanks to this uniquity. In other words, you’ll scan the tag in your asset tracking app, updating the asset’s location and opening its unique profile. You’ll then be able to log the issue.

As the issue has been logged against a unique asset and the location data has been updating, the process of finding which asset is damaged and where it is becomes streamlined and simple.
