As one of Western New York’s leading multispecialty ambulatory surgery centers, it was important to find ways to efficiently and accurately track and monitor environmental conditions. The team needed to find a solution that was easy to use, reliable, and created more efficiency for staff.

Challenge

Kristen Jackson, RN, BSN, had just started her role as GI patient care manager when the COVID-19 pandemic hit. The resulting shutdown gave Jackson unexpected opportunities to focus on process improvement initiatives—including investigating better ways to track and monitor environmental conditions. The surgery center was relying on manual processes for monitoring temperature and humidity, with staff checking ambient conditions once a day and medication and vaccine fridges twice a day. The sensors were not accurate, the data-capture process was time consuming and error prone, and there was no coverage during weekends and holidays.

Securitas Healthcare

Solution

Jackson’s online research identified several potential options. Most seemed complicated, requiring special software and/or professional installation and limiting access to a single user. Jackson chose Securitas Healthcare’s AeroScout Links because of its simplicity and ease of use: “I could do everything myself, including teaching my coworkers how to use it.”
