TSB-SPHERAhospital Chosen for the New Hospital La Fe in Valencia

TSB Technologies for Health and Wellbeing awarded the tender from Valencia Regional Government in Spain, which includes the supply, installation, configuration, implementation and maintenance of RFID system for location, monitoring and traceability in the Hospital La Fe in Valencia. The scope of the project is to provide the new hospital with an infrastructure in order to achieve tracking, monitoring and location of patients through the RFID technology, that doesn't interfere with other wireless technologies of the center.

The new Hospital La Fe will be equipped with a precursor system. "The center will be a referent in the innovation for the tracking, location and security, including the global control and management of patients and assets," comments Pilar Raro, Innovation Manager at Information Systems Department of the Hospital.

TSB-SPHERAhospital will operate automatically by using the SPHERAone technology, based in location algorithms entirely developed by TSB. Serafín Arroyo, TSB Marketing and Sales Director assures that: "In TSB we are committed to the location systems based in the ZigBee technology, which meet in a very efficient way all the requirements needed at hospital environments." Furthermore, the solution is developed on web technology, so that the access to these functionalities will be made through adapted viewers, which can easily turn any computer into clients with access to the information.

A network of 1.110 fixed beacons installed in different areas will be used to monitor the hospital. These beacons will allow locating more than 1.500 patients and more than a thousand assets in the new hospital. The whole system will be centralized in a server to manage the real time information of patients and/or assets in an easy and simple way. In addition, Health Information System (HIS) ORION, developed by the Regional Health Ministry of Valencia (Conselleria de Sanitat de la Comunidad Valenciana), will be integrated.

Resource management optimization is a key issue for every hospital, and with the system installed in the new Hospital La Fe, the location of assets in real time will be guaranteed. Moreover, this system fulfills the World Health Organization (WHO) recommendation for Patient Safety: "First, do no harm," providing the correct and unequivocal location and identification of patients in every moment and place on the entire hospital.
