The document proposes using a ZigBee-based wireless network to provide location identification and tracking of patients and assets within a hospital. The system would use bracelets worn by patients and beacons throughout the hospital to locate individuals and objects in real-time to the room level. This would improve safety, security and efficiency by avoiding mistakes, monitoring movements, and optimizing workflow and resource usage. The low-cost and scalable ZigBee network could integrate with existing systems and infrastructure to deliver an effective indoor location solution for healthcare environments.
