Abstract

This research grant had 2 primary purposes and components: 1) to eliminate time and man hours that hospital personnel spent searching for equipment in a large health care facility. Asset tags were installed on hospital equipment to electronically locate the medical devices. This report will detail all findings of the use and equipment features. 2) To devise a system for Emergency Department staff to efficiently collect insurance co-payments.
