Case Study: Saint Francis Medical Center transforms infusion pump management with STANLEY Healthcare RTLS

Midwestern Hospital Transforms Infusion Pump Management, Drives Higher Quality, Efficiency and Performance

Saint Francis Medical Center, a 308-bed regional hospital, faced significant challenges in managing its fleet of infusion pumps. Their biomedical engineering staff spent excessive time searching for devices, struggled to complete preventive maintenance and drug library updates, and needed to prevent the loss of these expensive assets. To address these issues, they partnered with STANLEY Healthcare to implement an integrated real-time location system (RTLS) utilizing the BD Alaris Asset Management platform with STANLEY's MobileView software.

The solution from STANLEY Healthcare provided real-time visibility into the location and status of every infusion pump. This implementation delivered dramatic results, including $21,000 in annual labor cost avoidance from eliminated manual searches and $60,000 in equipment saved from loss. The hospital achieved 100% preventive maintenance on over 800 devices with just two engineers and slashed the time for hospital-wide drug library updates from a full year down to just three weeks.
