Bringing iT all together

Cerner EPS is a fully integrated, enterprise-wide positioning and real time location solution. The solution features industry-leading tracking functionality.  It delivers both clinical integration and process improvement benefits.

Problem: Current tracking solutions are insufficient

Venue-level tracking technology without clinical integration is contributing to hospital inefficiencies. Without any means of tracking patients, organizations aren’t able to capture solid data to redesign processes or develop workflow improvements. This leads to:

• Extended wait times in admitting
• Inefficient patient flow in hospitals
• Inadequate discharge planning
• Lost or mismanaged equipment and devices
• Internal and external diversions

Solution: Enterprise-wide positioning

Cerner EPS incorporates real-time location data, allowing hospitals to track patients, staff and equipment with clinically relevant information. As a result, organizations can identify bottlenecks and redesign processes to optimize and streamline patient, staff and equipment workflows.
