subject: Health First Improves Asset Utilization and Reduces Costs at Its Three Hospitals Using AeroScout Healthcare RTLS Solutions [print this page] With AeroScout's WiFi Temperature Monitoring solution, Health First wirelessly tracks the temperature of refrigerators that store medications located throughout its three hospitals. The solution automatically records the temperature of each refrigerator at 15-minute intervals, alleviating the nursing and pharmacy staff of the task of manually tracking readings. For example, in two instances, the AeroScout solution saved Health First an estimated $60,000 that it would have cost in each occurrence to replace spoiled medications by quickly identifying a refrigerator that accidentally had been unplugged. The system alerted staff when the temperature exceeded a pre-set range and provided the accurate historical temperature data required to determine if the medications stored in that refrigerator had to be disposed of or could be saved.
