Case Study: Peninsula Regional Medical Center reduces equipment costs and boosts nursing efficiency with STANLEY Healthcare AeroScout

Medical Center Reduces Equipment Expenses and Asset Shrinkage, and Nurses Gain Efficiency While Delivering Even Better Patient Care

Peninsula Regional Medical Center, a medical center in Maryland, faced significant challenges tracking and locating critical medical equipment and manually monitoring refrigerator and freezer temperatures. This inefficiency consumed valuable staff time and led to asset shrinkage. To address this, they partnered with STANLEY Healthcare to implement its AeroScout Asset Management and Environmental Monitoring solutions.

STANLEY Healthcare's AeroScout solutions leveraged the existing Wi-Fi network to automate asset tracking and temperature monitoring. The results were substantial, including an initial saving of $250,000 on infusion pump purchases, a yearly reduction of $36,000 in lost telemetry monitors, and an estimated saving of tens of thousands on rental equipment. Staff saved over 1,700 hours annually on manual temperature checks, and nurses gained significant time for patient care instead of searching for equipment.
