Whittington Health NHS Trust partnered with Xtag Medical to strengthen infant safety within its maternity unit by implementing Xtag’s advanced baby tagging system - a wireless, real-time monitoring solution designed to prevent infant misidentification and unauthorised movement.
Client Background
Whittington Health NHS Trust provides maternity services to thousands of families each year at Whittington Hospital in North London. The Trust is committed to delivering safe, high-quality care in line with NHS patient safety standards and digital transformation goals.
The Challenge
Manual discharge and transfer checks increased risk of human error.
No automated alert system for potential baby movement outside authorised areas.
Compliance pressure to demonstrate enhanced infant safeguarding to CQC and NHS England.
Introducing the Xtag system has given both staff and parents an added layer of reassurance. It integrates seamlessly into our existing workflows and allows our midwives to focus more on care, knowing that the system is continuously monitoring infant safety.
