This information service is rapidly becoming mission critical for inpatient and outpatient healthcare. There is a multitude of business use cases to improve efficiency and effectiveness of operations such as Asset and Supply Tracking, Temperature Monitoring, Surgical Workflow, Hand Hygiene, Clinical Workflow, and many others.<\/p>\n<p>Today, healthcare providers are faced with a complex buying decision since the available products are often niche and proprietary resulting in different data models, different data flows, and unique architectures. While some of these differences represent value-added differentiation, most are artifacts of a lack of available standards and the desire for suppliers to compete with one another for new business. Providers are thus reluctant to risk large, enterprise-class investments until industry maturity and alignment is achieved.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Workgroup History<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<div><em>Group Formation<\/em><\/div>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<div>Feb 2014 \u00a0 Intelligent Hospital Symposium, Orlando<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<div>Jun 2014 \u00a0 IEEE Exploratory RTLS Webinar<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<div>Aug 2014 \u00a0 IEEE Exploratory RTLS Face-to-Face, IL<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<div>Dec 2014 \u00a0 IEEE PAR LSH P1847 Approved<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<div>Mar 2015 \u00a0 IEEE-SA LSH Rename and Co-Sponsorship<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<div class=\"O1\"><em>P1847 Common Framework<\/em><\/div>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<div class=\"O1\">Jun 2015 \u00a0 Face-to-Face Working Group, NJ<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<div class=\"O1\">Dec 2015 \u00a0 Initial Development, Virtual<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<div class=\"O1\">Mar 2016 \u00a0 Review Working Group, Virtual<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<div class=\"O1\">Aug 2016 \u00a0 Ad hoc Reviews, Virtual<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<div class=\"O1\">Apr 2017 \u00a0 Face-to-Face Working Group, DC<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<div class=\"O1\">Sep 2017 \u00a0 Face-to-Face Working Group, CA<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<div class=\"O1\">Feb 2018 \u00a0 Face-to-Face Working Group, CA<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<div class=\"O1\">Jun 2018 \u00a0 Review Working Group, Virtual<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<div class=\"O1\">Jan 2019 \u00a0 Working Group eBallot Approval<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<div class=\"O1\">Apr 2019 \u00a0 EMB Approval<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<div class=\"O1\">Aug 2019 \u00a0 Sponsor Ballot Approval<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<div class=\"O1\">Oct 2019 \u00a0 Face-to-Face Working Group, CA<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<div class=\"O1\">Nov 2019 \u00a0 RevCom and IEEE-SA Approval<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Purpose The purpose of the IEEE P1847 Location Services for Healthcare (LS-H) Working Group is to develop standards that: Improve interoperability Help to avoid costly redundancy of converging products Maximize reuse and utility of the functionality Improve consumer confidence The workgroup has built a common framework that serves as\u00a0foundation for standards such as Use Case [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1133,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-2","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sagroups.ieee.org\/1847\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sagroups.ieee.org\/1847\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sagroups.ieee.org\/1847\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sagroups.ieee.org\/1847\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1133"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sagroups.ieee.org\/1847\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/sagroups.ieee.org\/1847\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sagroups.ieee.org\/1847\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
