COVID-19’s Impact on Hospital Asset Management:

The COVID-19 pandemic has brought the entire world to a grinding halt. Businesses have either shut down or are operating at a diminished capacity. With production cycles getting impacted, supply chains are being distorted, leading to shortages of consumer products.

On the healthcare front, hospitals and key companies are diligently caring for the sick and the infected. Unfortunately, the rate of infections far exceed the capacities of hospitals and other healthcare settings in terms of patient accommodation. On the back of this trend, the hospital asset management market is poised to experience an upsurge.

As more people are admitted to hospitals, the demand for hospital assets such as beds, ventilators, respirators, real-time location systems to monitor patient-caregiver interaction, and other advanced devices is burgeoning. Leading market players, therefore, are accelerating their production rates.

Stanley Healthcare, for instance, has deployed various solutions to manage COVID-19 infections. These include Arial Emergency Call Bundles which rapidly deploy Wi-Fi based emergency call. These are being used in new patient-care facilities or non-traditional areas of existing hospitals and Asset Management Bundles to track equipment used for COVID-19.
