East Kent Trust Hospitals University NHS Foundation Trust (EKHUFT) is pioneering the use of RFID to manage one of the most fundamental items in patient care: foam mattresses.
East Kent Hospitals University NHS Foundation Trust has introduced RFiD Discovery’s pioneering RFID mattress tracking system to strengthen patient safety and ensure full compliance with Care Quality Commission (CQC) requirements.
By increasing accuracy from 75% to 95%, the solution gives teams greater confidence in stock data and stronger control over stock levels to help avoid overstocking, stock-outs and materials going out of date.
Tracking 40,000 medical assets, University Hospitals Plymouth NHS Trust has the largest GS1 compliant RFID location system in the entire NHS healthcare system.
