Company Background
Our Mission
Founded in 1991, TeleTracking Technologies is the world’s leader in healthcare operations management
and patient flow, with over 850 clients across the globe representing approximately 350,000 hospital beds
and more than 15 million patient stays every year.
Who We Are
We equip frontline staff and care providers with the IT and innovation tools needed to coordinate care
across the patient’s journey. TeleTracking’s platform and services combine proprietary technology with deep
domain knowledge on patient flow and healthcare operations across the continuum of care, from the
community to the acute setting to post-acute care.
TeleTracking provides hospitals with real-time visibility to patients, beds, assets and staff. This visibility
allows healthcare systems to increase patient throughput and access, reduce overcrowding, accelerate
patient discharge and transfers, and create more efficient resource utilisation by driving real-time and
historical data for continual operational improvement and NHS trust intelligence.
Whether at a single healthcare system or multiple networks of care, we enable ‘best in class’
operational processes to ensure patients are cared for in the right place at the right time with the right
resources and care.
What We Do
How We Do It
With over two thirds of hospitals struggling to stay within budget and a target of £22 billion in productivity
improvement savings, we recognise the challenges that the NHS is facing and we believe that we have the
operational tools needed to support care providers in integrating services around the patient in the most
efficient and appropriate setting, across any care network, and in a safe timescale.
Why We Do It
Our mission is to improve operational efficiency within healthcare systems by providing solutions and
services that enable caregivers to deliver patient centred, safe, and high quality care.

TeleTracking: Our Impact
Under the NHS’ New Models of Care Programme, care providers are moving towards multispecialty
community providers and integrated primary and acute care systems with an emphasis on
communication and coordinated care for patients across systems of care, not just organisations.
TeleTracking’s platform provides hospitals and networks of care with real-time visibility to patients, beds,
assets and staff through a centralised coordination centre that creates transparency across care
networks to drive patient flow from the community to the acute settings to post-acute care.
Where We Fit
TeleTracking’s centralised coordination centre addresses key hospital challenges:
Average Wait Times
Patient Placement Times
Trolleys Waiting in Corridors
Average Length of Stay
Room Turnaround Time
(A&E, Examination, Theatre, Procedure)
Discharge Readiness
Number of Procedures Per Day
Fixed Asset Utilisation (X-Ray, MRI)
Mobile Medical Equipment Utilisation
Staffing and Scheduling
Staff Productivity and Resource Allocation
Demand Levelling and Forecast Planning

TeleTracking: Our Impact
Day in the life of frontline staff and how they might interact with TeleTracking’s system:
Throughput and Access to Care
Capacity Starts with Discharge
Patient’s discharge is pending
The nursing ward staff, case management, and
clinicians accomplish discharge milestones,
which are visible at ward and organisation level
Ward staff requests transport
When transporter goes ‘in progress’ leaving the
room, housekeeping and patient placement are
notified that the bed is dirty
Patient placement can target the bed for the
next patient
When cleaning is complete, requesting area is
notified that the assigned bed is now clean
Requesting area sends patient to nursing ward
Clinical Operations
Another Patient Needing Surgery Arrives
Patient Placement calls Theatre charge nurse to
request an Operating theatre
Theatre charge nurse knows room status and
assigns to A&E patient
Add-on case is communicated to all appropriate
Surgical teams
Critical patient is immediately transported to
surgery and arrives just as surgical room and
staff are ready
Labour Productivity and Care Support
A Unit’s Supply of Clean Infusion Pumps Just
Dropped Below Par Level
Materials Management receives an alert to
restock the clean utility room and assigns the
work to the appropriate employee
A Patient Needs Acute Care
Her referring clinician calls a transfer nurse
The transfer nurse records critical information
and calls attending clinician
He can also target a ward, trigger a bed request
and note mode of transportation to the A&E
Once patient placement assigns a bed, the
transfer nurse can instantly see the bed
assignment
The receiving ward also sees the bed
assignment and begins planning for patient
arrival
The A&E requests a transporter upon patient
arrival and patient moves swiftly to the
receiving ward
A Patients Surgery is Near Complete
Room turnover staff including cleaners, lift
team, and anesthesia team are notified
PACU and Preop are notified
Theatre charge nurse is notified
When a nurse needs a pump, she knows that
one will be available in the clean utility room.
She is able to retrieve one quickly and minimise
time spent away from the patient
Her patient receives medication without delay
Outcomes
Optimises available capacity by allowing real-time visibility of all patients coming into the organisation
and those that are already in the system
Minimises Length of Stay (LOS) by impacting on all operational processes that drive flow, including:
Placing patients in the correct clinical care location from the time of admittance
Delivering patients to the r ight place in a timely manner through a dispatcherless, priority-driven
portering system
Streamlining delivery of interventions, both in the Operating Theatres and Radiology
Efficient and appropriate bed cleaning, thus reducing the bed turn t ime
A coordinated discharge process, allowing for:
Reduced A&E and PACU hold times through visibility of available and appropriate beds
Reduced Left Without Being Seen (LWBS) incidences through coordinated care delivery driven by the
transparency and accountability that TeleTracking’s system provides
Decreased bed turnover time through automatic alerts and escalations to the housekeeping team
Reduced wait times in all areas, including Outpatients, by streamlining the operational processes that drive
clinical care
Improves patient experience by helping the organisation deliver efficient, patient-centred care
Increases staff satisfaction by automating processes and providing them with the data that
enables them to optimise workflow and give them back the time they need to spend caring for patients
Reduces harms through visible real-time patient location, and accurate asset tracking with individual
asset ‘clean’ status; additionally, patient risk scores, such as the Waterlow Score, are captured and
displayed
Reduces and prevents spread of infection through the Hand Hygiene Tool, which logs every hand
hygiene event, such as gelling or washing hands, and creates a t raceable and transparent
environment

NEW CROSS HOSPITAL
WOLVERHAMPTON,
UNITED KINGDOM
More than 700 beds
Over 600,000 patients
annually
Major acute care facility
serving Wolverhampton and
West Midlands
CHALLENGE
Hospital Associated Infections are believed to cost the UK
National Health Service at least £1 BILLION ANNUALLY and
cause at least 5,000 DEATHS
The human and financial cost associated with HAIs has
made the issue a top priority of the NHS and focus of media
attention
New Cross Hospital, The Royal Wolverhampton Hospitals NHS TrustCase Study
TELETRACKING PARTNER SINCE 2013
Largest global RTLS deployment with nearly 4,000 staff, all inpatients and over 1226 assets tagged
ACTION
New Cross Hospital implemented an RTLS-
enabled hand hygiene monitoring system in
late 2013 and early 2014
First hospital worldwide to use RTLS as the
enabling technology to automate all care
delivery support processes
Equipped nearly 4,000 employees, all
inpatients and 1,226 assets with RTLS sensor
badges to track patient, staff and asset
interactions
A Hand Hygiene Index is now collecting data
24/7 on 32 wards and 744 beds-giving
feedback every 30 minutes to show how
each ward is performing and drive behaviour
change, when necessary
New Cross tracks the performance of 3,500
clinical staff, include the chief executive and
chief nursing officer
THE WORLD’S FIRST “REAL-TIME HOSPITAL”
EARLY RESULTS
Improved patient flow and bed availability by
removing process lag time
In July 2014, New Cross Hospital was awarded
the Patient Safely and Care Award for its Safe
Hands/RTLS program
75% of patients are automatically discharged
upon exiting, which triggers housekeeping to
clean vacated beds and reduces lost bed time
Beds are turned over and available for a new
patient in less than 40 minutes
Finding a tagged asset now takes 25 seconds,
which means patients are given timely
intervention

HOLMES REGIONAL
MEDICAL CENTRE
MELBOURNE, FL
514 beds
Annual A&E Visits: 50,308
CHALLENGE
Most American hospitals are well below the Medicare
reimbursement breakeven point each year, and must rely on
commercial payers to bolster their response. This tactic has
reached a point of diminishing returns, especially in light of
new quality guidelines established by the Affordable Care
Act
Health First saw an opportunity to standardise and
implement Lean as a method of meeting its financial goals,
while also attaining new quality guidelines
TELETRACKING PARTNER SINCE 2012
ACTIONS
Health First created a special leadership
position to oversee operational excellence and
hired an analytics expert from the
manufacturing sector to determine ways to cut
operational costs without eliminating jobs
It then implemented TeleTracking’s
operational platform to provide real-time
monitoring and data to eliminate wasted time
resources
RESULTS
No A&E diversion in several years
Reduction in Length of Stay (LOS) from 5.75 to
4.25
80 more beds per day open for new patients
12% increase in A&E visits
70% reduction in A&E wait times (33,000
hours/year)
60% reduction in internal transfers (saving £330
transfer)
30% increase in transfer volume
12.9% reduction in Cost Per Adjusted Discharge
Discharge window reduced from 9 hours to 1.7
hours
A&E Hold Time costs down significantly
“We have over 180 reports that are built and run on a daily, weekly, and monthly basis, and it allows our
operational team to make changes immediately, instead of waiting till month-end to figure out that they
had a problem.”
-Bill Griffith, MBA, CSSBB, CQA, Director of Operational Excellence
