The healthcare field is one of those in which RFID technology can bring great improvements both in terms of use of the service and in management efficiency and reduction of errors and costs.
There are several aspects that can be monitored: unique identification of people and objects, traceability in real time , certain identification and correct for patients, medicine inventory management .
RFID can be used for a variety of objects, the one of pharmaceutical products can be particularly complex. Some objects on which they are affixed may contain liquids , the application therefore requires a particular antenna and a support capable of isolating the chip from the product.
It is important for the hospital to keep inventory under control and have a real time inventory of products, this is to avoid stock outages. The massive reading by the readers allows to save time of the operators who would otherwise have to proceed with the manual count or the single reading of the barcode of each product.
Some surgical instruments are reused after appropriate sterilization and must always be clean and disinfected within reach.
Using RFID could ensure that each instrument is properly sterilized , and a properly implemented system could track the sterilization methods of individual instruments.
The safety of the patient must be guaranteed in the use of the health service, this is possible thanks to the use of RFID tags and the Medical Record Electronics . In this way it is possible to speed up the retrieval of data and reduce the risks that may derive from homonyms, partial or incorrect clinical information.
The CCE is an integrated computer system that allows you to share, update and view information for patient management, from diagnosis to assistance. The patient is provided with a tag linked to a database that contains all patient data and which will be updated automatically .
To ensure greater security of the service it is possible to limit access to some areas. In this case, the staff will be provided with a badge containing an RFID tag that must be used to access certain environments, patients, medicines or medical equipment.
When there is a need to track disposable items, some hospitals prefer to keep track of the staff member who used the items , this is to ensure that inventory is used correctly and to reduce waste or theft. This is a case in which the personnel monitoring system can be used in conjunction with inventory monitoring.
