Summary:

The healthcare industry has faced a multitude of challenges in recent years and is still amid economic troubles and continued staffing shortages. Coming out of the Pandemic, we are seeing an increase in RTLS demand to help address some of the challenges in healthcare today. Historically, technology that lessens workload and provides decision support has been one of the leading yearly reported healthcare trends. How can RTLS make healthcare systems more effective and still help provide patient focused care? During this presentation, we will review the latest trends in healthcare that are driving the utilization of RTLS applications, use cases and RTLS data insights.

Key Objectives:

• Review the factors in healthcare driving RTLS demand.
• Understand RTLS technologies that are being used in healthcare.
