	When TeleTracking Technologies was founded in 1991, the concept of patient flow hadn&rsquo;t been invented, automation was something done in factories and ED overcrowding mainly happened on Friday nights in urban medical centers.

	&nbsp;

	It took a great deal of insight to recognize that there was a patient flow pattern within the continuum of care and that many of the steps in that flow could be automated and monitored for greater efficiency. It took foresight to realize that enhancing and optimizing patient flow would alleviate congestion in the ER by getting people into the right beds more quickly. And it took faith to believe that hospitals would actually adopt technology that wasn&rsquo;t diagnostic or therapeutic, but designed to make work flow better.

	&nbsp;

	Despite the obstacles, TeleTracking has grown to become the world leader of patient flow automation solutions to the healthcare industry.
