Safety
 

VISion helps protect patients and staff by monitoring movement of patients, staff, visitors and equipment in real-time so that you can instantly detect their whereabouts and analyze historical movement.

Patient & Staff Safety

Call for Assistance
The Personnel Alert Badge allows patients and staff to call for assistance from any tracked location. This feature has proven useful in overflow situations, when patients are away from their beds, patients need immediate assistance in a corridor or bathroom and when nurses are dealing with problematic patients or simply need an extra hand.

Infection Control
VISion monitors and records the movement of patients, staff, visitors and equipment in real-time so that you can instantly detect their whereabouts. Based on interactions, late discovery of infections can be investigated, cross-contamination can be tracked and those having had contact with known contamination can easily be recalled, thereby enabling you to track the spread of contagions.

Confidential Patient Information
Versus’ Authentication Manager makes sensitive patient information available only to those with permission to view it and Screen Lock automatically activates a screen saver when there is no authorized badge present at a computer workstation. By making a patient’s current location available to those who need it when and where it’s needed (PCs, pagers, phones, etc.), VISion eliminates the need for central white boards and meets HIPAA privacy standards.

In Relation to Equipment
Asset tracking with VISion enables healthcare facilities to instantly know the location of equipment, monitor thresholds, ensure proper equipment maintenance and receive alerts regarding equipment failure.

Immediate Need Locating
Put simply: Patient safety improves with the ability to immediately locate equipment, especially life-saving apparatuses like crash carts.

Maintenance & Record Keeping
VISion helps hospitals find equipment due for maintenance, testing or inspection and maintains a log of these details and other interactions that can be reported on with a moment’s notice, aiding compliance with Joint Commission standards. VISion helps healthcare organizations manage Joint Commission “Environment of Care” standards which include reporting problems, failures and user errors related to medical equipment as well as annual evaluation of the medical equipment management plan, including objectives, performance and effectiveness.

Recalls
VISion allows facilities to search for tagged equipment based on specific or general criteria and instantly provides the current or last known location, allowing you to quickly identify the affected equipment and get it away from patients.

What should I look for in a Real-time Locating System?

Timeliness: Is the location information reported in a timely fashion?

Reliability: Is the location information determined and reported in the same way today, yesterday, and tomorrow?

Accuracy: Is the reported location information accurate?

 
Identify Faulty Equipment
“Two years ago a particular pump was recalled due to a bad gasket and required replacement. We had to get them away from the patients immediately. We were able to run the VIS program and go straight to the rooms. So within an hour we had all of the recalled equipment downstairs and away from the patients where we could repair them. That’s what’s important.”

Ensure Patient Safety
“Patients don’t have any objections to wearing the RFID badges because they view them as a safety precaution. They feel secure about wearing them.”
