DESCRIPTION
An organization in Idaho is seeking information from vendors capable of providing a real-time location system (RTLS) to support patient elopement monitoring and improve security within a healthcare setting. The requested system is intended to address interference between tag detection fields that can cause delays in door locking when an egress-risk patient is involved.
The system should enable precise tracking of tagged patients within covered areas accessible to individuals under the patient elopement system. Required capabilities include customizable patient tracking based on elopement risk, configurable alarm parameters and boundaries, staff escort functionality that allows monitored residents to move through protected areas without triggering alarms, and notifications of patient location in the event of an elopement. The system is expected to track patients throughout the 2MS ward using RTLS coverage across the entire area.
The anticipated contract period is one year. This notice is issued as a sources sought request to identify qualified vendors with relevant RTLS and healthcare security experience.
