项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Sentinel Wireless LLC has created an automatic, continuous, real-time indoor location system (ILS) specifically for the healthcare environment. The ILS will be installed on standard networks and is compatible with existing databases, making its deployment simple, inexpensive, and user-friendly. The investigators believe that the system will improve the safety and efficiency of healthcare by enabling the monitoring and analysis of patients, staff and clinical process flows; providing data on equipment utilization; and reducing the time the clinical staff spends searching for equipment. This Fast Track application proposes installation of a previously prototyped Sentinel ILS in a limited area of the Massachusetts General Hospital in collaboration with CIMIT (Center for the Integration of Medicine and Innovative Technology) and the Operating Room Future (ORF) program. The ORF is a single operating suite staffed by team of individuals dedicated to evaluating new technologies and successfully incorporating innovation into their work processes. Phase I will track patients and mobile surgical equipment through registration, surgery and recovery and will have an objective of demonstrating that the ILS can quickly locate medical devices or people in the clinical setting. Researchers will determine feasibility and validate accuracy of the ILS by: - Building, deploying and testing second-generation prototype equipment - Evaluating the ILS reliability, maintainability and ability to track items - Validate and verify the ILS information. Phase II will consist of system implementation, end-user education, acceptability and utility evaluation, cost-effectiveness analysis and ultimately, re-engineering the commercial version of the product. The ILS system stores location data, creating a vast and accurate, and therefore exceedingly powerful, quantitative platform upon which to begin analyzing current process flows and resource allocation. Armed with this solid database, the research community can then tackle the compelling challenges of system inefficiencies and patient care improvements. This research will then allow decision-makers to make the correct operational changes and technology purchases needed to significantly impact cost and patient care. Investigators believe this work will have immediate and dramatic utility in the clinical environment and provide the needed documentation to implement the ILS through out the hospital.

描述（由申请人提供）： Sentinel Wireless LLC专门为医疗保健环境创建了一个自动、连续、实时的室内定位系统（ILS）。ILS将安装在标准网络上，并与现有数据库兼容，使其部署简单，廉价和用户友好。研究人员认为，该系统将通过监测和分析患者、工作人员和临床流程来提高医疗保健的安全性和效率;提供设备利用率数据;减少临床工作人员搜索设备的时间。该快速通道应用程序建议与CIMIT（医学和创新技术整合中心）和手术室未来（ORF）计划合作，在马萨诸塞州总医院的有限区域安装以前的原型Sentinel ILS。ORF是一个单一的操作套件，由致力于评估新技术并成功将创新纳入其工作流程的个人团队组成。第一阶段将通过登记、手术和恢复跟踪患者和移动的手术设备，并将证明ILS可以在临床环境中快速定位医疗设备或人员。研究人员将通过以下方式确定ILS的可行性并验证其准确性： - 建造、部署和测试第二代原型设备 - 评估ILS的可靠性、可维护性和跟踪项目的能力 - 检查并验证ILS信息。第二阶段将包括系统实施、最终用户教育、可接受性和效用评价、成本效益分析以及最终重新设计产品的商业版本。ILS系统存储位置数据，创建了一个庞大而准确的，因此非常强大的定量平台，开始分析当前的流程和资源分配。有了这个坚实的数据库，研究界就可以解决系统效率低下和改善患者护理的紧迫挑战。这项研究将使决策者能够做出正确的运营变化和技术购买，从而显著影响成本和患者护理。研究人员认为，这项工作将在临床环境中有直接和戏剧性的效用，并提供所需的文件，以实施ILS通过医院。
