    Evidence from a real hospital deployment

    The NHS England case study at Mid Cheshire Hospitals documents a deployment in which 400 infusion pumps were tagged with RFID and BLE tags. The tags reported location through the hospital's wireless infrastructure to Cisco DNA Spaces. This is useful evidence that BLE-based pump tracking has been implemented in a real hospital, rather than being only a vendor capability.

    How to compare these systems

    Before selecting a vendor, verify three things:

    • Location accuracy: Is room-level location sufficient, or do you need precise bed/bay-level positioning?
    • Infrastructure: Can the system reuse existing Wi-Fi access points, or does it require dedicated BLE sensors or gateways?
    • Pump compatibility: Does it support attachable third-party BLE tags, or only particular pump models with embedded Bluetooth?

    My shortlist: Start with Securitas Healthcare, CenTrak, Midmark, and AiRISTA for conventional tag-based asset tracking. Include Siemens/CODAN if you are evaluating compatible pumps with integrated BLE.

    One important distinction: BLE support in a product portfolio does not guarantee that every tag, receiver, and software configuration supports the same location accuracy. Ask vendors to demonstrate locating an actual infusion pump in your hospital environment.
