This study introduces a new location tracking system using RFID tags to analyze clinical workflow efficiency. The system visually presents data over time, enabling rapid assessment of process changes and identification of improvement areas.

Area of Science:

  • Healthcare systems engineering
  • Clinical informatics
  • Operations research in healthcare

Background:

  • Location tracking systems are increasingly adopted in healthcare settings.
  • Despite prevalence, their application in assessing clinical workflow efficiency remains limited.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To design and implement a system for evaluating clinical workflow efficiency.
  • To leverage location data for process improvement in healthcare environments.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized active Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tags for location data capture.
  • Processed raw location data into a usable format for analysis.
  • Developed a system for visual data presentation with trending capabilities.
