Automated Contact Tracing with Midmark RTLS

Automated Contact Tracing with Midmark RTLS

Know who in your organization was potentially exposed to a contagion—and for how long.

When contagions visit your organization, will quick, accurate information be at your fingertips?

Health systems relying on manual contact tracing experience a labor-intensive, multi-day process subject to human error and guessing. Your organization needs to be prepared when public confidence and regulatory scrutiny demand it.

Manual contact tracing has real consequences:

Speed

It often takes days to identify those who may have been exposed to an infected person using manual contact tracing

Accuracy

Interviews and self-reported information are the primary tools of manual contact tracing, often resulting in errors

Completeness

Relying on human memories and manual logs can’t always recreate the pathway a contagion takes through an organization

When exposure occurs, will you rely on interviews for contact tracing? Midmark RTLS eliminates the guesswork.
