Case Study: STANLEY Healthcare

Keeping critical care equipment within reach

COVID-19’s arrival skyrocketed demand for hospital PPE and ventilators. See how STANLEY Healthcare and Cisco are partnering to help healthcare providers digitize inventory tracking and ensure that critical equipment is always at hand during the race to save lives.   

Summary

Challenges

  • Hospitals are pushed to get the right equipment to the right person, at the right time
  • Prior to COVID-19, healthcare professionals walked hospital corridors to locate equipment
  • Stressful working conditions:
    • Long hours, hot
    • Emotionally draining
    • Ever-changing requirements
    • Vital spur of the moment decisions

Results

  • Real-time location solution means healthcare professionals find what they need quickly 
  • The right equipment is expedited to the right person, at the right time 
  • Joint solution automated the tracking of 1,000 assets in one week to help providers deliver the best care 

What they're saying

Asset tracking was always in our roadmap. During COVID, we had to really pick the pace up. Clinicians [now] have the right equipment to the right place at the right time. Frontline staff have more time to care for patients. Things we thought were impossible a few months ago are now possible.
