Peter Depla comments “Our Medical Devices Librarians currently spend significant time searching the hospital each day to recover medical equipment, especially as equipment often finds its way into cupboards or behind a door. The PDA is carried by the Medical Devices Librarian and as they move through the hospital it automatically records when it ‘sees’ a tagged medical device. Each tag is associated to an asset and we now have around 200 tags fitted to different devices. Now we can find medical devices hidden from sight and have an accurate inventory location record that is regularly being updated.”
