Efficient equipment management is vital for healthcare institutions, especially within the NHS, where the seamless availability of critical devices can directly impact patient outcomes. To address this challenge, Qolcom, a Platinum Partner of HPE Aruba Networking, is empowering healthcare providers with advanced equipment tracking solutions powered by Aruba’s cutting-edge technology.

The Challenge: Managing Healthcare Equipment In large NHS facilities, tracking essential equipment like infusion pumps, ventilators, and diagnostic tools can be daunting. Misplaced or underutilised devices lead to inefficiencies, increased costs, and delays in patient care. Traditional tracking methods often lack the accuracy and real-time insights needed to address these issues.
