What is RTLS in healthcare?

RTLS (real-time location system) uses tags on equipment, patients or staff and sensors in the building to show their location in real time. Hospitals use it for asset tracking, staff duress alerts, patient flow and compliance monitoring.

Which technologies does RTLS use?

Depending on the accuracy needed, CenTrak RTLS combines infrared, Bluetooth Low Energy, Wi-Fi and RFID, from zone-level down to room and bay level.

Can RTLS integrate with our existing systems?

Yes. It can usually connect to EHR, nurse call and maintenance systems through standard interfaces such as HL7 and REST APIs.
