Versus

Through CMA, Inc., we provide the Versus® Information System (VIS™) a real-time locating system by Versus Technology, Inc., the leader of the healthcare passive tracking market with over ten years experience in the marketplace. Hundreds of facilities internationally are experiencing the benefits of Versus' real-time locating systems.

Organizations today face increasing pressure to do more in less time with fewer resources-tighter budgets and reduced staffing levels. VIS eases the pressure by helping you manage your organization more effectively. VIS makes your job easier by enabling you to quickly locate people and equipment and to streamline procedures, while reducing costs and enhancing efficiency.

At its most basic level, VIS is a real-time locating system, which enables you to quickly locate people and track assets. VIS allows you to find who and what you need within seconds. There's no need to comb the halls. Simply glance at a monitor. The people and equipment you need to reach are right at your fingertips. By identifying locations at the "room level" using patented infrared (IR) and radio frequency (RF) technology, VIS excels where competitors' RF-based systems fall short.

VIS operates via a simple network of system components. Small, lightweight badges are worn by people or attached to equipment. Ceiling-mounted sensors receive the unique ID codes and auxiliary data contained in IR and RF signals emitted by each badge and transfer it to the system. The modular nature of the sensory network's enables a facility to begin with a system in one area for a specific desired application (e.g., staff locating or automatic nurse registry and call cancellation) and to expand real-time locating to include other departments or applications (e.g., ED or asset tracking, etc.) as needed. Through the wide variety of reports, historical trends, usage patterns, and benchmarks can be analyzed for future operational enhancements.

VIS enhances Rauland's Responder IV Nurse Call, Tracer IV Staff Tracking, and Tracer IV Asset Tracking systems with the power of real-time locating. Using the integrated systems, the nursing staff can automatically cancel calls, register themselves in patient room and receive room calls on pocket pagers, while biomed and central service staff can easily track equipment for use and/or preventive maintenance. By saving you time searching for people and equipment and by minimizing noisy overhead paging, VIS creates a calmer, quieter environment helping you stay focused on your most important task-delivering quality patient care.
