University Hospitals Bristol NHS Foundation Trust has installed AeroScout’s Asset Tracking & Management solution.

AeroScout partner Block Solutions has deployed the real-time location system (RTLS) to track and manage medical equipment for the NHS trust, leveraging University Hospitals Bristol’s existing Cisco Unified Wireless Network.

AeroScout’s Wi-Fi RTLS solutions can operate without the need of a proprietary RFID network.

Wi-Fi Tags and MobileView software will allow hospital employees to track and optimise assets in real time, AeroScout said.

University Hospitals Bristol IT services manager Dave Oatway said: "Prior to working with AeroScout, the clinical staff at Bristol Royal Hospital for Children had to manually search for medical equipment. Now they have a clear understanding of the location and status of not only high value assets, but also of important patient care items like bariatric beds and wheelchairs."
