The Trouble With Old Buildings
A lot of hospitals are in older buildings, with older wiring, and have thick masonry walls that make updating infrastructure both time consuming and expensive. It gets even worse if you manage an SPD that is in the basement of one of these older buildings, some dating back to the early 1900’s. These spaces were never originally intended to be an SPD, with walls that are a foot thick and electrical wiring that is as unstable as it is limited. If the internet exists in these spaces at all, it is usually one outlet per room or less. So installing a modern, internet based tracking system can seem like an insurmountable challenge.

Lack of Electrical Outlets
Another common issue is the lack of electrical outlets that plague SPDs installed in basements that were built over 150 years ago. These spaces were never intended to get electrical power, much less become a digital SPD. So it is an extremely expensive process to retrofit these spaces to add more electrical outlets. In situations like this, there is only enough power for the lights, and a few machines; nothing is available for workstations. CaseTrak360 can adapt to this as well; relying again on wireless workstations. Wireless workstations, like inexpensive laptops or tablets, have on board batteries, and a closet or a single electrical outlet can be used as a central charging station for them. All staff need to do is plug in the workstations to charge them between shifts, and now everything can work without electrical outlets. CaseTrak360 will run in this environment without needing wall outlets for power, or wired internet. Everything is wireless, portable, and budget friendly.

So if you are managing and SPD in an older facility, you are no longer limited by your lack of infrastructure. CaseTrak360 is flexible and can overcome the limitations you face to modernize, and dramatically improve how your SPD functions. Reach out to info@casemed.com to schedule a demo today.
