IEEE Recommended Practice for Common Framework of Location Services for Healthcare
A common framework of Location Services for Healthcare (LS-H) is contained in this recommended practice.
The framework includes LS-H conceptual information model and LS-H common terminology.
This recommended practice contains a common framework of IEEE SA location services for healthcare (LS-H).
LS-H includes hardware and software that provides location information for clinical and non-clinical healthcare use cases.
The framework includes common terminology and a conceptual information model.
This common framework is a foundation for future LS-H standards and recommended practices intended to improve healthcare efficiency and value.
Healthcare provider organizations desire these technologies to automatically locate and trace items and people for various use cases such as asset tracking, surgical workflow, and patient elopement.
These technologies have many potential benefits such as inventory optimization, reducing patient wait times, and increasing patient and staff safety.
Prior to this framework, the industry lacked common terminology and a model to frame interoperability development.
Implementers experienced challenges of non-standardized solutions such as:
LS-H standards and recommended practices will increase interoperability, reduce redundancy, increase adoption, increase innovation, and improve consumer confidence.
