BLE tracking systems for optimization of pharmacy crash cart operations
BLE-enabled RTLS significantly improved crash cart visibility, streamlined labor hours, and enhanced operational efficiency. This case study supports national recommendations for integrating RFID technologies into medication-use systems and highlights the importance of interoperability, stakeholder engagement, and workflow standardization. The findings may inform broader adoption of RTLS in health systems seeking to enhance safety and streamline operations.
