At first, you’ll note gains that are default results of accurate
locating. You’ll reduce time spent searching for equipment and
colleagues. You’ll know patient-to-staff ratios. You’ll know when beds
become available and you can easily report on room turnover times.

You Can’t Manage What You Can’t Measure
With Advantages, you’ll have data to compare the before and after, find
out what works best. Maybe you’ll improve in one area, but find another
backed up? But at least you’ll have the data to make decisions and test
processes. Oh, and another thing… You won’t have to call Versus every
time you want to test a theory. Unlike other RTLS systems, Advantages keeps up with what you do with patients—even when that changes.
