THE CHALLENGE
Every late transport delays care.
Searching for chairs
Transporters lose time hunting for a free wheelchair or stretcher across a large campus.
Equipment
Requests get lost
Calls, pagers and whiteboards make it hard to see which requests are waiting and who is on them.
Dispatch
Rooms sit idle
When patients arrive late, costly imaging and procedure slots go unused and schedules slip.
Schedules
Patient transport touches every department, yet many hospitals still run it by phone. Without live data, delays only show up once a patient is already waiting.
HOW IT WORKS
Request to arrival.
Staff request a transport in seconds. IntraPosition routes it to an available transporter and shows the nearest free wheelchair or stretcher on the map.
01
Request in seconds
Choose the origin, destination, patient ID, vehicle type and priority, immediate or scheduled, plus any special instructions.
02
Find the nearest vehicle
UWB tags show where every wheelchair, stretcher and motorized stretcher is, so no one searches the halls.
03
Assign a transporter
Dispatchers see pending requests and who is on duty, then assign each job in a click.
04
Track to completion
Every transport moves from Requested to Completed in real time, and transporters see their own jobs in the My Transports view.
TRANSPORT DASHBOARD
Every request, one live view.
