The Positek RFID Difference

With more than 50 years of experience providing RFID solutions to medical apparel and linen management companies, Positek knows how to help you implement an RFID system that makes sense for your business. Here’s how we can help:

Real-Time Tracking

One of the primary benefits of RFID technology in medical apparel and linen management is the ability to track inventory in real time. This means that facilities can avoid stockouts, which can lead to lost revenue, unhappy patients, and potentially even health risks if necessary items are not available. Additionally, RFID tags track the usage of medical garments and linens. This allows facilities to order new items before running out. It also shows when to retire older or worn items, which can reduce costs on replacements. By having real-time inventory visibility, healthcare facilities can also ensure they have enough supplies to meet patient needs, leading to improved patient satisfaction.

Improve Efficiency and Reduce Costs

RFID tags can track the location and status of each item as it goes through the laundry process. This means that healthcare facilities can quickly and easily see which items are ready to be picked up and which items still need to be processed. This eliminates the need for phone calls and emails back and forth, making the pickup and delivery process more efficient. Furthermore, RFID tags can also be used to track employee performance, providing managers with valuable insights into which employees are most efficient and where improvements can be made. By improving the efficiency of these processes, healthcare facilities can save time and money, leading to improved overall operations and revenue.

Increase Security

In addition, RFID tags provide an added layer of security to the management of medical garments and linens. RFID tags can be used to identify items that have been stolen, misused, or lost. This helps healthcare facilities reduce costs associated with lost or stolen items, and ensure that the correct items are in the right place at the right time. By being able to track the location of each item, healthcare facilities can also be better equipped to handle emergencies and ensure that the necessary supplies are readily available. This added security also aids in reducing the risk of cross-contamination, which is especially important in the medical setting.

More Satisfied Patients

Another benefit of RFID technology in medical apparel and linen management is the ability to improve patient satisfaction. By using RFID-enabled medical garments and linens, healthcare facilities can keep a closer eye on all of their products. From increasing availability of every item to ensuring it receives proper laundering and maintenance, this improves patient stays in hospitals. Having the right tools means more successful procedures and happier patients.
