Crothall Partners with Intelligent InSites to Reduce Costs and Increase Efficiencies in Hospitals
Relationship Combines Crothall’s Reputation for Quality and Exceptional Customer Service with Intelligent InSites’ Innovative and Proven Enterprise Visibility Solution
Wayne, PA and Fargo, ND – April 6, 2009 – Crothall Services Group, the leading provider of hospital facility and support services, and Intelligent InSites, the market and technology leader in providing enterprise visibility solutions for healthcare, have partnered to bring a unified solution to U.S. healthcare facilities.
The new offering, which will be marketed by Crothall to its over 700 hospital clients, is intended to assist with the location and management of both equipment and people, via real time location technology. Clinical Engineering will be able to monitor the physical location and inventory of all assets throughout a hospital, as well as extend the ability to monitor patient transportation and environmental service worker location and status. The Intelligent InSites infrastructure can connect common systems within the healthcare facilities, including patient flow, asset management, inventory management, wireless nurse call, staff duress, and other systems, enabling healthcare organizations to make major improvements in patient safety, patient satisfaction, equipment utilization, and operating efficiency. Crothall CEO Bobby Kutteh says, “We are continuously looking for ways to add value to our customer relationships. This partnership will give us a new tool to assist our customers with reengineering and improving their operational processes.” Crothall performed an extensive evaluation of real-time location providers, customer implementations, and market requirements prior to selecting Intelligent InSites as its preferred real-time location solution partner.
Mark Rheault, President and CEO of Intelligent InSites states, “We feel very connected with Crothall’s mission and values, and we commend their dedication to quality and exceptional customer service. We are pleased to partner with Crothall, and we look forward to working with Crothall in helping healthcare providers make dramatic improvements in the efficiency of their operations. Our combined software and services solution will further enhance patient satisfaction, reduce costs, and improve operating margins for our mutual clients.”
By implementing an enterprise location solution across their facility, U.S. hospitals have demonstrated impressive results, including reducing equipment purchases and rentals by 15%, avoiding shrinkage of 5-10% of a hospital’s equipment each year, and decreasing patient wait times by more than 50%—driving millions of dollars to the bottom-line
while increasing patient safety and satisfaction.
