Fargo, ND - Family HealthCare Center (FHC), a private, non-profit healthcare provider serving the communities of Cass County, ND, and Clay County, MN, announced today that their patients will benefit from faster and more cost-efficient care as a result of implementing a Real-Time Locating System (RTLS) solution from Intelligent InSites.

Intelligent InSites, Inc., the leading provider of enterprise real-time location systems (RTLS) software helping hospitals improve patient care and increase healthcare efficiency while leveraging any RTLS technology, will implement the InSites RTLS solution in the Family HealthCare Center's new facility in downtown Fargo, ND.

The $15 million investment in the new facility, partially funded by a federal Health Resources and Services Administration grant, enables Family HealthCare Center to consolidate most of their services into a single location, allowing FHC to better fulfill their mission of providing quality family-centered health care that is accessible, culturally competent, and efficient. FHC patients have access to affordable yet comprehensive primary care services, including adult and pediatric care, pregnancy and women's health, immunizations, dental, lab, x-ray, pharmacy, wellness, and education. The new site will nearly double Family HealthCare Center's space and triple the number of medical examination rooms.

"At Family HealthCare Center, we strive to be innovative in our approach to care," said Patricia Patron, Executive Director at Family HealthCare Center. "The InSites solution will help us be more efficient with our scarce resources, so we can serve more patients with the highest quality standards and lower cost."

The InSites solution will track, manage, and display in real-time, through its unified user interface, the location and status of patients, staff, and equipment, as they move throughout the facility, driving better communication and more efficient use of resources. With the InSites business intelligence and reporting capabilities, Family HealthCare Center will be able to better understand the flow of patients and asset utilization, allowing them to continually evaluate and improve their performance.

Through the implementation of the InSites solution, FHC also will automate many manual processes, such as monitoring temperature of refrigerators and other temperature-sensitive devices. With the temperature monitoring application, staff will be able to receive notifications if the temperature goes beyond a specified threshold, so corrective actions can be taken and then documented automatically. The InSites solution will also provide reports to meet regulatory compliance.
