Commenting on the report, an analyst from TechNavio’s team said: “Hospitals face a lot of challenges in the management of hospital garments such as operating gowns, robes, trousers, and patient clothing. This is because it is difficult to track the movement of garments from staff members to the laundry, then to the storage cabinets and back to the wards again. Since there are various types of garment being used in hospitals, the chances of misplacement or loss are high. Moreover, the time required to trace the garments is very high and can cause a lag in workflow processes. Hence, RFID-based LBS applications are used to track several garments. In addition, during emergencies, the tracking of garments reduces the buffer time taken by hospital staff to handle emergency situations. Thus, the increasing usage of LBS in hospital management is an emerging trend in the market.”
According to the report, one of the main drivers in this market is the increasing requirement for RTLS to track people in hospitals. Most hospitals across the globe are struggling to provide high-quality health services to their patients due to lack of efficient patient-staff management systems. Moreover, most hospitals do not have an organized healthcare service workflow for real-time patient treatment tracking and real-time staff management. However, in recent years, hospitals across the globe are adopting RTLS tags to search, locate, track, and monitor the presence and movement of patients, doctors, and people providing healthcare services in hospital premises.
Further, the report states that one of the major challenges in the market is the lack of reliability and accuracy of navigation information. The real-time information provided by indoor healthcare LBS providers needs to be reliable and accurate. The accuracy of real-time location-based search results is measured by the relevance of the information provided by the search providers. However, since the area covered by hospital indoor LBS maps is small, it is difficult to accurately find the required person or object.
The study was conducted using an objective combination of primary and secondary information including inputs from key participants in the industry. The report contains a comprehensive market and vendor landscape in addition to a SWOT analysis of the key vendors.
