Fluid Solutions for LDK
LDK required an RTLS solution that leveraged its technological infrastructure. With an infrastructure powered by MS Intune, Meraki Access Points, and Eevi, LDK required a solution that integrated MS Intune with Eevi while also providing additional real-time tracking, messaging, and efficiency capabilities.
The Problem
With many countries currently facing an influx of long-term care residents due to an aging population, care providers' ability to provide expansive care at a reasonable cost is essential. The safety and well-being of long-term care residents are at the forefront of every decision care providers make.
With a rapidly rising influx of long-term care patients, LDK faces a myriad of challenges to ensure they can keep providing world-class care through maintaining patient-caregiver ratios, managing rooms, and responding to emergencies (including wander violations) more promptly. LDK also sought to iterate on its existing SOS messaging capabilities to better leverage its existing technology infrastructure.
The Solution
Real-time Locating Systems ensure LDK’s premises are monitored in real-time, with all staff, assets, and patient locations and movement analyzed.
Fluid’s RTLS system enables LDK to track and position people and assets inside their facilities using BLE tags that communicate with the Meraki Access Points. LDK’s MQQT server collects and processes data collected from the tags and access points before sending it to Fluid’s platform for processing and analysis.
Additionally, discreet, easily accessible SOS buttons and tags enable staff to instantly notify security and management of any safety, health, or security concerns with dynamic pathing to the incident area for support workers.
Fluid drove integrations between Microsoft Intune and Eevi. With MS Intune and Eevi integrations, Fluid administers dynamic alerts to caregivers based on pre-defined parameters, such as a patient wandering too far, room availability, and room cleaning requirements. With alerts tailored to LDK’s Eevi requirements and integrated with LDK’s smartphones and tablets through MS Intune, FLUID leverages RTLS-Location Intelligence to ensure LDK’s staff can respond to any eventuality.
Results/Impact
With Fluid's RTLS solution deployed across LDK's Meraki points, LDK has 24/7 compliance with staff-resident ratios. Additionally, the fallout from medical events has decreased with LDK now able to instantly pinpoint where a resident in distress is. LDK’s enhanced wander management ensures patients are found promptly. Thanks to Fluid's seamless integration with LDK's existing hardware infrastructure, LDK's patients are safer, and their staff's readiness posture is enhanced.
