Case Study: Riverside Healthcare improves device tracking and patient safety with Kontakt.io RTLS

Riverside Healthcare saves 40+ hours a week finding pumps with Kontakt.io

Riverside Healthcare, a 300-bed nationally recognized hospital, needed to solve two primary tracking challenges: locating critical mobile medical devices and preventing patient elopement. The hospital turned to Kontakt.io for a Real-Time Location System (RTLS) solution to improve staff efficiency and enhance patient safety protocols.

Kontakt.io implemented a complete plug-and-play RTLS solution, providing preprogrammed hardware including asset tags, gateways, patient wristbands, and software. This allowed staff to instantly locate devices and patients, receiving alerts when patients entered or left specific zones. The solution delivered immediate results; data revealed the system reclaimed over 40 hours of staff time per week previously spent searching for medical pumps alone. Kontakt.io's simple deployment and the measurable impact have motivated Riverside to further expand its use of the technology.
