The Real-Time Hospital Measurement System⢠combines Excelion’s proprietary Accreditrack⢠software with Lean process transformation consulting and real-time locating technology. Hand hygiene compliance is measured by using the WHO hand hygiene guidelines. TMC adherence to WHO protocols can now be tracked, aggregated and displayed in real-time through the Accreditrack⢠software suite. Hand hygiene events are measured using CenTrak’s Second Generation Infrared (Gen2IRâ¢) tags worn by caregivers, and the information is relayed wirelessly to the Accreditrack⢠system for real-time analysis. If a caregiver misses a hand hygiene opportunity, the caregiver is immediately reminded by an audible alert on their tag. To ensure successful and sustainable cultural change, Excelion also implements Lean Healthcare methodology to map and transform TMC’s hand hygiene compliance procedures for improved outcomes.
“The Medical City is extremely proud to have installed the most advanced technologies to ensure the safety of all of our patients and staff members. Not only do we offer world-class facilities, cutting-edge equipment, distinguished medical staff and rigorous patient care processes, but we can now demonstrate our support for improved patient safety initiatives, such as protecting patients and staff from hospital acquired infections (HAIs)”, said Dr. Jose Acuin
“The installation is a remarkable accomplishment for Excelion Technology. Without the full support of The Medical City team, we could not have delivered this best-in-class enterprise hand hygiene compliance solution. CenTrak’s patented Gen2IR location infrastructure served as the backbone for our Real-Time Hospital Measurement Systemâ¢. We selected CenTrak because of its industry-leading accuracy, performance and battery life. We are looking forward to leveraging our success to deploy Lean healthcare initiatives in other areas at The Medical City. Together with the Hospital, we are already installing our Real-Time Hospital Measurement System⢠in TMC’s Acute Care Stroke Unit (ACSU) as the next phase of our larger infection control solution,” said Nestor Cruz
