Temperature logs and alerts from any storage area. FreshLoc wireless sensory networks can protect critical temperatures in any hospital department, on any floor: predictably, they are used by foodservice and pharmacy, but unexpected applications are always cropping up--blanket warmers, for example. The system sends accurate reports, formatted to each user's needs, to designated staff members, and can be accessed online.

Medication Accurate, continuous records of temperature are required by JAHCO inspections for correct storage of medication.

From JCAHOonline:

"...Joint Commission Standard MM.2.20 requires that medications be stored under necessary conditions to ensure stability. EC.6.10 additionally requires that you describe and implement processes to maintain and monitor equipment performance. If your organization chooses to use temperature monitoring to achieve this, the monitoring method must track temperature in an ongoing fashion to indicate whether or not internal temperature has deviated from the required ranges for all drugs stored. In addition, the organization should have a defined process outlining disposition of medication from a refrigerator or freezer which has deviated from the recommended temperature range. "

These standards can be easily met with automated continuous records delivered by FreshLoc. The system delivers accurate, reliable records of storage temperatures for food, drugs and treatment aids. The records are secure online, accessible from any Internet connection, and can be delivered regularly as log reports through email.

Scalable FreshLoc is ideal for tracking temperatures throughout a hospital because it is scalable. A solution that tracks temperature for foodservice may cover the kitchen and refrigerators on every floor. That same system can pick up medication storage or blanket warmers, for example, and can add other points as required. All the information is organized to allow access to the appropriate individuals, online.

Alerts FreshLoc sends digital alerts about out-of-range temperatures to allow maximum response time. The system gives managers enhanced control over assets, equipment and staff, increasing accountability across the board.
