Real-Time Vision, Superior Precision. To achieve superior healthcare delivery, institutions rely on superior locating technologies. Only Versus combines patented infrared (IR) and radio frequency identification (RFID) technology to provide the industry’s most precise, real-time location of people and assets. Versus’ comprehensive Advantages™ and Visibility™ software suites facilitate situational awareness, alert messaging and event automation, real-time and historic reporting as well as integration to virtually any healthcare information system, including EMRs, nurse call, asset and bed management, security, ADT and billing. The Versus system allows this data to be applied for operational improvements that produce measurable results.
Dedicated to Healthcare since 1991. The Versus real-time locating system is the most-deployed RTLS in healthcare. Dedicated to making healthcare safer and more efficient through location and rules-based automation, our solutions foster improved care giving, and ultimately set a new standard in healthcare.
As consistently noted by customers, Versus surpasses competitors by offering decades of experience, proven technology, installation flexibility, expert consulting and strong product training from knowledgeable clinicians. Customers praise the Versus RTLS for its high level of accuracy and its ability to adapt to complex healthcare processes, thereby improving overall performance in hospitals, clinics, and other healthcare settings.
The Market Leader. Versus has been recognized as the Market Leader in Healthcare Real-time Locating Systems (RTLS) by Frost & Sullivan three times (in 2009, 2006 and 1999) for its long-standing commitment to healthcare. Versus systems locate more than two million patients annually, provide automatic nurse registry and call cancellation to 80% of nurse call systems, and track millions of assets. Versus has the most deployments (installed in more than 700 facilities worldwide), the longest deployment (over 20 years in the industry) and cover the most critical care beds (more than 200,000). Additionally, Versus is the only RTLS vendor that provides the location hardware, software and services to deliver superior outcomes from a single vendor.
Versus has received praise from clients and integrators alike, including Microsoft’s Senior Director of Worldwide Health, Bill Crounse, MD, who was impressed with Versus’ ability to improve processes and increase efficiencies. Dr. Crounse announced on his blog: “if you are not planning for the use of this technology in your hospital or clinic, you are missing a huge opportunity to lower costs, increase revenues and deliver better, more satisfying care.”
Accomplishing Process Automation for Healthcare. Most RTLS vendors will discuss success in terms of reducing equipment expenditures and ensuring equipment availability when and where needed. Versus delivers these benefits, but we prefer to share more meaningful success stories. So, what exactly is our approach to transforming healthcare? We automate mundane tasks, data collection and eliminate time wasted searching for staff members and equipment that can prevent staff from focusing on patient care.
