Upgrade the Lifecycle Management of Scrubs and Linen.
In the healthcare, as part of the lifecycle of surgical scrubs and linen, they are used, cleaned and returned for further usage. Although the costs of these items isn’t typically a consideration when it comes to seeking improved management, the administration time and effort of managing the items is costly. RFID tags can be attached on to scrubs and line to improve traceability and optimize the management of the items.
How it works
Tag Items
RFID tags used for scrubs and linens are designed to be laundry-safe, with different versions rated for various wash cycles. They can be attached by heat sealing, stitching, or embedding. Each tag has a unique identifier, enabling item serialization and traceability.
Establish Read Points
As the items leave and enter a facility, RFID handhelds and read points can capture the movement or transfer of items. Inventory workflows can be done in storage areas to ensure that there are no variances.
Aggregate Data
As data is aggregated, analyze reports on overdue or missing items. Trace the history for each and every scrub / linen and pull information on the item. Use advanced analytics to understand utilization and ensure even usage for all items.
Valuable Workflows
Check-In / Checkout
As products are checked out for cleaning and sterilization, capture the items quickly and accurately with RFID. Unlike barcode, no line of site is required and many items can be counted at a time. This makes it easy to see inventory movement. When items are checked back in, ensure that no items are missing right on the spot.
Inventory Counts
Even with optimized business processes, it’s important to always double check. Inventory counts with RFID make it easy to quickly count inventory whether it be in a stock room or on the back of a truck. See variances on the spot including matched, missing, misplaced or extra items.
