GE Healthcare, Cisco offer network-based tracking

I found this off CMIO and thought I’d share it here.

GE Healthcare Performance Solutions and Cisco have joined forces to help hospitals better manage the flow of patients, staff and equipment.

The GE-Cisco collaboration enables hospitals to deploy GE’s AgileTrac platform integrated with the Cisco Unified Wireless Network and Context-Aware Software to track patients, staff and equipment with network technologies.

The combined GE and Cisco tool brings together location information about wi-fi clients, tags and wired devices with proprietary real-time location system technologies, the companies added.
