The outpatient infusion department\u2019s infusion rooms have all been outfitted with InnerSpace Pace carts and InnerSpace Cloud security services.\n\n\u201cIf someone is interested in saving time, improving ease of use for staff, and keeping auditable access records, it\u2019s definitely worth considering InterConnect locks.\u201d\nElliott Aronson \u2013 Senior Project Coordinator\nWinship Cancer Institute\n\nSenior Project Coordinator Elliot Aronson manages a real-time locating system that he has found partners well with managing the InterConnect lock system. Carts are taken to a central supply room where they are restocked with supplies for the next day and then locked until staff retrieves their carts. He notes that the centralized approach has been a timesaver and allows staff to tend to patients rather than track down supplies. And Winship at Emory Midtown is seeing financial benefits, too, as they are reducing the use of unnecessary amounts of supplies.\n\nInaccurate tracking and security challenges led to seeking a solution\nAronson says that leading up to the decision to select InnerSpace Cloud security services, Winship at Emory Midtown was experiencing some challenges with accurately tracking and itemizing supplies, raising security concerns about who was accessing a cart and whether that person\u2019s access was logical? Were the staff members who had the access the ones who needed those supplies?\n\nAnytime, anywhere access to track cart use\nNow, Aronson is able to track the 143 staff members accessing Pace carts using the InnerSpace Cloud dashboard. \u201cThe cloud system is great because I can access information from anywhere, any computer,\u201d he says. \u201cAnd there are significant benefits to a cloud-based system at a cart fleet or facility level. That\u2019s a big value-add to apply our security standards consistently across so many locations.\u201d Aronson can also individually assign the level of security and who has access to what.\n\nEase of use, advanced lock technology, and RFID features\nThere were other features of the InterConnect lock system that appealed to decision-makers at Winship at Emory Midtown. First, explains Aronson, they selected InterConnect for its ease of use and the lock\u2019s technologically advanced programming. \u201cFor our organization, RFID was important, since we use badges to access rooms across the building, computers, and now supplies. And there\u2019s no risk of losing a key or forgetting a PIN.\u201d\n\n\u201cFor our organization, RFID was important, since we use badges to access rooms across the building, computers, and now supplies.

Team members were onsite to set up the locks and connect them to Winship at Emory Midtown\u2019s network. Locks were approved by the IT department to ensure they were in compliance with the organization\u2019s requirements. Once locks were connected, the Technology team applied custom settings to the Winship\u2019s entire fleet of Pace carts.\n\n\u201cWe trained Elliot on the program and its features, from logging access and reporting to adding and deleting users,\u201d says Mark McClusky, Vice President of InnerSpace Product Technology. \u201cElliot now has the ability to email staff members with instructions on how to set up their badges and operate the locks. This is a big time savings for Elliot in managing the program.\u201d\n\nAfter nearly a year of using InterConnect locks, Aronson is sold. \u201cIf someone is interested in saving time, improving ease of use for staff, and keeping auditable access records, it\u2019s definitely worth considering InterConnect locks. Everything is tracked, so I better understand supply usage.\u201d He hopes the success the outpatient infusion department has had with the lock system will prompt other departments at Winship at Emory Midtown to adopt use of InterConnect locks. \u201cHopefully, we\u2019ll expand use within Emory as a whole.\u201d","citation":"https:\/\/winshipcancer.emory.edu\/locations\/winship-cancer-institute-at-emory-midtown.php","isFamilyFriendly":true,"isAccessibleForFree":true,"description":"Case study of a cancer center that required an innovative system for storing, managing, and transporting valuable medical supplies in a secure, trackable way.","datePublished":"2024-07-12T00:00:00-04:00","wordCount":"709","author":{"@type":"Organization","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https:\/\/innerspacehealthcare.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/innerspace-healthcare-storage.png","name":"InnerSpace Healthcare Storage","height":"119","width":"460","acquireLicensePage":"https:\/\/innerspacehealthcare.com\/contact\/","@id":"https:\/\/innerspacehealthcare.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/innerspace-healthcare-storage.png"},"address":{"@type":"PostalAddress","name":"InnerSpace Postal Address","postOfficeBoxNumber":"PO Box 2808","addressCountry":"US","addressLocality":"Grand Rapids","addressRegion":"Michigan","postalCode":"49501","streetAddress":"PO Box 2808","@id":"https:\/\/innerspacehealthcare.com\/#PostalAddress0d149542-0d37-4313-a7a4-aacb6a045936"},"url":"https:\/\/innerspacehealthcare.com\/","alternateName":"InnerSpace Healthcare","location":"https:\/\/innerspacehealthcare.com\/#PlaceOrPostalAddress","faxNumber":"+1 616-743-5944","name":"InnerSpace","description":"InnerSpace Healthcare offers a complete line of stationary and mobile storage solutions for healthcare facilities including catheter labs, radiology, central supply and surgical services.
