Location Matters
Because sometimes people can’t find the things they need to do their job. It’s that simple.

Asset Invisibility
Not knowing where valuable equipment and key people are when they are needed
Excess equipment leases and purchases
Compromised patient care resulting from longer wait times
Wasted time searching for people and equipment
Understanding loss/theft of critical equipment
Inefficient management of personnel, bed, equipment and systems capacity

Anecdotal Evidence
• Nurses spend 10-30% of their time searching for things
• PM on a single device can take as long as 8 hours
• The “short term” specialty equipment rental that never ends
• Hoarding IV pumps in utility closets

Continuum/Hierarchy of Needs
Who is patient John Doe? Is this medication from Lot #123?
Where is the medication cart? Where is patient John Doe?
Is the flow rate on the IV pump O.K.? Is the ventilator functioning correctly?
If the glucometer gets dropped, disable it. If the cart has bad medication on it, lock the door.
PanGo is initially focused on satisfying the need for location.

Knowing the location of people and assets can assist greatly with “Environment of Care” compliance
• The Joint Commission of Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations (JCAHO) identifies the following areas of interest in their "Environment of Care" standard:- Safety Management- Security Management- Hazardous Materials and Waste Management- Emergency Management- Fire/Life Safety- Medical Equipment Management- Utilities Management
• All these areas can benefit from knowing where people and assets are located…in real time

Better Asset Visibility Drives Real ROI
Maximize Hospital Performance
Better Patient Care Improved Financial Results
Improved Focus•Focus on patient care rather than
searching for equipment and peopleBetter Service
•Reduce patient wait timesFaster Response
•Greater availability and responsiveness of critical systems and equipment
•Shorter emergency reaction timesAccreditation and Risk Mitigation
•Help ensure JCAHO/FDA compliance
Increase Revenue/Throughput•Streamline patient admissions •Greater bed availability•Increase operating capacity
Decrease Costs•Reduce equipment leases/purchases•Lower maintenance expenses•Loss and theft prevention
Increase Asset Utilization•More efficient workflow•Optimize deployment of equipment &
systems

The ROI for Hospitals
Annual Savings Category AmountEquipment• Reduction in equipment purchases: $225K• Reduction in short-term rentals: $37.5K• Reduction in shrinkage/loss: $375K
$637,500
Clinician Labor/Productivity $312,500
Maintenance Labor/Productivity $60,000
Total $1,010,000
Key Assumptions• 500 bed hospital• 3000 tracked assets ($2500 avg. cost)• 12 clinical engineers• 250 clinicians (nurses, etc.)

Asset Visibility Solution: PanGo Locator®
• Monitor – visualize, search and filter assets in map/floorplan or tabular views
• Notifier – automatically send notifications and alerts based on user-defined asset location rules
• Reporting – current or historical asset reports, including location, duration, and movement
• Configuration & Management – define, configure and manage assets, tags and spaces
Real-time asset visibility through a complete standards-based system for tracking mobile assets

Customer Case Study: Rockford Memorial Hospital
• Challenge- Biomedical engineering department study found the inability to locate
equipment resulted in $1.5M per year in - Lost productivity- Delays in patient care & preventative maintenance- Excess equipment purchases- Inefficient patient throughput
• Solution- Deploy PanGo Locator, leveraging the hospital’s existing Cisco Wi-Fi
infrastructure
• Impact- Biomed staff, nurses and other clinicians use the system to track 600
assets to support staff and patient workflow, and preventative maintenance processes
- Rockford plans to add 1000 assets per year for the next several years
400-bed facility and the largest health system serving northern Illinois and southern Wisconsin.

Hospital Department Benefits
Biomedical Engineering• Better asset management• Locate equipment for
preventative maintenance• More efficient product
recalls
Nursing Staff• Spend more time with
patients; less time searching for equipment
• Receive alerts when equipment leaves department
Operations/Purchasing• Reduce capital
expenditures• Reduce equipment leases• Increased asset utilization
IT Staff• Application runs over
existing 802.11 network• Standards-based• No risk of interference with
other wireless/telemetry

• Wi-Fi network should be designed to enable location tracking
• Asset invisibility is creating real challenges- Workflow and asset management inefficiencies- Overspending on equipment purchases/leases
• Clinical and operational stakeholders (not just IT)- Biomedical Engineering- Operations & Materials Management - Nursing- Admissions, Discharge, Transport (ADT)- Facilities Management

Key Differentiators of the PanGo Solution1. Location input from multiple sources
- Wi-Fi (PanGo, Cisco) and Passive RFID- Primary focus on standards based approaches
2. Full-featured asset tracking application- Monitor, Notify, Report, Manage
3. Scalability to hundreds/thousands of assets- Standard 802.11 tag supports automated, over-the-air
management4. Not just PanGo applications
- Proven integration to complementary hospital workflow and asset management solutions
- Open, standards-based software integration approach5. Not just tags
- PDAs, Laptops, Wi-Fi phones, RFID/Barcode readers- People tracking via devices they already carry
