Overview

Scan4Safety programme director at HUTH, Rachael Ellis, leads the next chapter of her Scan4Safety journey implementing a pioneering asset tracking solution for the trust.

Discover how HUTH used GS1 standards and RFID to provide accurate, real-time visibility of thousands assets for the hospital. With the solution in place, the trust can track critical hospital equipment seamslessly to know exactly where equipment is when it is needed most.

HUTH's story

HUTH which, serves 1 million patients annually, and covers 1.3 million square feet of clinical space, implemented a Scan4Safety pilot in its ICU to track critical hospital equipment.

The pilot was a success, resulting in their ability to make the equipment available quickly for patients without wasting time to locate it. When COVID-19 hit, they expanded the program across their two main campuses and for all patient-facing departments.

The dramatic results showed time savings of 88,000 hours across 2,500 staff members. The delivery of the Hull program was selected by NHS England to be the Global Digital Exemplar for other hospitals across the UK to follow.
