RTLS for Safety in a National Hospital with 6 Million+ Square Feet Area and 2,000+ Beds

Izmir City Hospital, one of Turkey’s largest healthcare facilities, has significantly upgraded its operational efficiency and safety protocols through the integration of Litum’s advanced Real-Time Location System (RTLS). Spanning over six million square feet and housing more than 2,000 beds, the hospital required a robust system capable of managing complex healthcare operations and ensuring the safety of patients and staff. The RTLS implementation addresses these needs by providing real-time tracking for enhanced asset management and staff safety. Key features such as staff duress alerts, fall detection, and wander management systems have greatly improved the hospital’s response times in emergency situations, ensuring rapid intervention when necessary. This case study demonstrates how cutting-edge technology can transform safety and operational procedures in large-scale healthcare settings, creating a safer environment for both patients and healthcare professionals.
