ABL's software, AssetVoice™, has been implemented by Provide Community Integrated Care Team (Provide CIC) to track syringe drivers in the UK, ensuring that this essential equipment is always available and functional when needed.

Managing critical medical equipment has often been a challenge for busy clinical teams working in the healthcare community. In this video, District Nursing Team Leader, Michael Lee explains how AssetVoice™ has given clinicians the confidence to manage the locations of their equipment, avoiding costly and time-consuming loss and misplacement.

"Rather than trying to find the patient and what syringe driver they've got, we find the syringe driver [in AssetVoice™] and what patient it's assigned to at that time. It's great for locating which driver is at which base as well."
