摘要

医院需要不断优化流程，以确保不间断的护理。本研究旨在探讨都市医院的即时定位系统（RTLS）与物流及调度管理的整合。该系统跟踪循环病床和医疗设备，改善资源分配，减少低效率，并通过可穿戴设备和大数据分析增强任务分配。结果显示，交付时间缩短了20.9%，设备查找速度加快了86.8%，员工满意度为91.2%，不良事件零复发。研究结果强调了RTLS通过采用数字技术提高医疗质量、效率和患者安全的潜力。

Use of wireless geographic locating system to improve medical equipment utilization and medical quality.

Hospitals require continuous process optimization to ensure uninterrupted care. This study investigates the integration of Real-Time Locating Systems (RTLS) with logistics and dispatch management in a metropolitan hospital. The system, which tracks circulating beds and medical equipment, improves resource allocation, reduces inefficiencies, and enhances task distribution using wearable devices and big data analytics. Results showed a 20.9% reduction in delivery time, 86.8% faster equipment search, and 91.2% staff satisfaction with zero adverse event recurrence. The findings underscore RTLS's potential to enhance medical quality, efficiency, and patient safety through digital technology adoption.
