Brief Summary

Technological innovations are taking over our daily lives, particularly in the health sector. Real-time location systems for healthcare professionals and patients are developing in hospitals. Today few studies have focused on the acceptability of this new technology. The present research, which aims to study the acceptability of a real-time localization systems, reveals a definite utility and acceptability from the patient's point of view, subject to conditions. Indeed, the guarantee of data security and the concrete interest for the patient must be explained. For healthcare professionals working in emergency departments, the usefulness of new technologies in their work is now well established. Nevertheless, the acceptability of a real-time location systems received lukewarm reviews. It depends mainly on reticence linked to the fear of a possible deviation in the use of the data collected.
