Abstract
A location system can be used to identify locations of assets in a clinical environment. An example location system receives, from a primary receiver, timing data indicating times at which multiple receivers including the primary receiver received a wireless signal from a tag. The multiple receivers may be located in the clinical environment. The example location system further identifies that the timing data includes a flag indicating that a user of the tag has requested assistance, identifies an identifier of the tag based on the timing data; and transmits, to a reporting system, a first message indicating an identifier of the tag and that the user of the tag has requested assistance.
