Educational Focus:
Asset Tracking 101, Sterile Processing (SPD), OR readiness, specimen tracking overviews, and buyer enablement.

What Troy writes:
Playbooks, executive explainers, and KPI-driven guides that help leadership teams plan pilots, sequence deployments, and measure impact across units and sites.

Representative topics:

• Choosing where to start with hospital asset tracking
• SPD to OR tray readiness and on-time starts
• Specimen chain-of-custody: operating model for IDNs
• Cross-enterprise track and trace (manufacturers, trunk stock, hospital)

Educational Focus:
Passive RFID fundamentals, fixed versus handheld workflows, and adoption patterns across large IDNs and public sector healthcare. Deep experience with government compliance and secure deployments in FDA labs, VA Medical Centers, and DoD environments.

What Gary writes:
Concept explainers, adoption playbooks, governance and security checklists, and real-world program narratives from pilot to scale.

Representative topics:

• Passive RFID in hospitals: where it fits and why it scales
• From pilot to program: governance, training, and long-term support
• Public sector healthcare lessons: ATO readiness, network approvals, and security-by-design
• VA “inventory by exception” with RFID to reduce manual counts
• Integrated digital asset models in regulated labs that link equipment and consumables to ELNs and asset systems for search, usage history, and compliance
• Secure workflows in restricted labs, including encrypted mobile devices, data-at-rest protection, and RFID check-in/check-out stations

Educational Focus:
RF engineering in the real world, RFID vs BLE vs Wi-Fi RTLS, interference mitigation, tag selection, and site surveys.

What Mark writes:
Deep technical guides and checklists that de-risk deployments and help teams validate infrastructure before go-live.

Representative topics:

• Antennas, power, and read-zone design for busy corridors
• Metals, liquids, and placement: getting consistent reads
• When and where BLE or Wi-Fi adds value to a passive RFID backbone

Educational Focus:
Barcoding technologies for UDI validation and parsing, error blocking, scan-to-system workflows, and when to layer RFID with barcode-led processes.

What Gene writes:
Engineering explainers and how-tos with diagrams that show data quality at the point of capture and simple paths to EHR/LIS/CMMS.

Representative topics:

• Making UDI data usable: validation, parsing, and exceptions
• Reducing manual steps with mobile computing at the point of work
• Bridging barcode identifiers with passive RFID movement events
