New efficiencies in healthcare


Good article in the Boston Globe today describing a new system being trialed at the Dana Farber Institute in Boston. They are asking employees and patients (showing first names only) to wear badges to show name, location, how long they have been waiting, status of rooms (empty or in use) and several other functions to increase efficiencies. Since time really does equal money in healthcare this new application of existing technology is a great example of starting a company based on a simple, but creative concept.  The developing company is Versus Technology.
