RFID tracking for hospitals and clinics in Malaysia
Patient linen, OT gowns and scrubs move between wards, the linen room and an outside laundry every day. RFID shows exactly what came back, and keeps medical equipment accounted for too.
The problem
Linen shortages on the ward
Without counts, nobody knows whether linen is lost, at the laundry or sitting in another ward.
Disputes with the laundry vendor
Manual tallies make it hard to prove how many pieces went out and how many came back.
Equipment that wanders
Wheelchairs, pumps and monitors move between wards and are hard to find during audits.
How linenTrace solves it
Tag
Each piece gets a washable RFID tag, registered to its item type.
