CA 2743439

A wireless time-of-flight distance measure-ment device and/or a motion detector is used at each of a plurality of stations in a wireless network in an enclosed fa-cility to accurately locate a badge-wearing person near the station. The location, badge number and time of detection are transmitted through the network and stored in a computer memory. In a healthcare facility, hand washing detectors are located at some of the stations and caused to energize a hand wash status indicator light on the badge when the wearer has washed his or her hands. The light remains "on" for only a certain length of time, but will be extinguished sooner by a monitor device near each patient when the healthcare worker leaves the vicinity of the patient. These events also are trans-mitted and stored so that a timed record of each worker's hand washing and visits to patients is created.

L'invention concerne lutilisation dun dispositif sans fil de mesure de distance à temps de vol et / ou dun détecteur de mouvement à chaque post dune pluralité de postes dun réseau sans fil dans un établissement fermé pour localiser précisément une personne porteuse dun badge à proximité du poste. Lemplacement, le numéro de badge et lheure de détection sont émis par lintermédiaire du réseau et stockés dans une mémoire dordinateur. Dans un établissement de soins de santé, on place des détecteurs de lavage des mains au niveau de certains des postes et on fait en sorte quils activent un voyant indicateur détat de lavage des mains sur le badge lorsque le porteur sest lavé les mains. Le voyant ne reste « allumé » que pendant un certain laps de temps, mais est éteint de façon anticipée par un dispositif de contrôle près de chaque patient lorsque le personnel soignant quitte le chevet du patient. Ces événements sont également émis et stockés de façon à créer un compte rendu horodaté du lavage des mains de chaque soignant et de ses visites aux patients.
