Wander Management FAQ
Our Wander Management solutions use real-time location and RFID technology to prevent at-risk individuals from leaving safe zones, without restricting freedom unnecessarily.
What is RFID, and how does it contribute to wander management?
RFID, or radio frequency identification, is a technology that uses radio waves to identify and monitor patients. RFID is utilized for wander management by employing RFID tags on vulnerable patients. These tags can trigger alerts if the person moves outside predefined safe zones.
How do RFID systems ensure the safety of vulnerable patients?
RFID systems help ensure safety by providing location monitoring for vulnerable patients. Suppose a person wearing an RFID tag approaches or crosses a designated boundary. In that case, the system can be configured to immediately send alerts to caregivers and lock exits, allowing for a quick response and preventing potential risks associated with wandering.
Is the Wander Management solution customizable to accommodate different care environments?
Absolutely, this solution is highly customizable. Caregivers can set up and define specific secured areas, customize alerts and personalize the system to suit the unique requirements of different care environments, whether it’s an assisted living facility or a healthcare institution.
What happens if a vulnerable patient attempts to leave a designated safe area?
If a vulnerable patient attempts to leave a designated safe area, the RTLS system activates an alert. The alert may be configured to immediately lock exits and/or send caregivers immediate notifications through various means, such as alarms, email notifications or centralized monitoring systems, enabling quick intervention.
Are RTLS tags safe for vulnerable patients to wear?
Yes, RTLS tags are designed to be safe for all patients to wear. They are typically lightweight, durable and unobtrusive, ensuring a comfortable fit for the wearer. Some designs even resemble regular accessories, making them less noticeable.
Can RTLS-based wander management systems be integrated with other healthcare technologies?
Yes, the HID RTLS solutions can be integrated with other healthcare technologies, such as electronic health records (EHRs) or alarm management systems. This integration enhances communication and coordination among different aspects of patient care, providing a comprehensive approach to overall safety.
How does RTLS technology assist in locating individuals quickly in case of an emergency?
Yes, RTLS tags are designed to be safe for all patients to wear. They are typically lightweight, durable and unobtrusive, ensuring a comfortable fit for the wearer. Some designs even resemble regular accessories, making them less noticeable.
How do RTLS systems support caregivers in providing a more patient-centered approach?
RTLS systems empower caregivers to adopt a patient-centered approach by offering real-time information on the location and activities of vulnerable patients. This knowledge enables caregivers to respond promptly to needs, enhancing the quality of care and promoting a more personalized and compassionate caregiving experience.
