Among the earliest hospitals to widely deploy deployment of wireless patient tracking, Albert Einstein Medical Center, in north Philadelphia, began installing its Real-Time Location Service system in 2003. Despite several missteps and setbacks in the last eight years (the hospital recently installed its fourth version of the technology), Albert Einstein has reaped undeniable benefits and clear investment returns while pioneering the application of wireless patient tracking.

Mobile Healthcare Today’s Onsite report on the AEMC wireless tracking system details the hospital’s experience, examines the challenges and obstacles the deployment has encountered and provides analysis and conclusions for ED physicians and hospital IT directors exploring similar roll-outs. The images in this gallery provide a look inside the Albert Einstein ED as the most recent version of the technology was being installed.
