1 RFID in HEALTH-CARE WHITE PAPER Ver 1.0 (March 2013)

2 The Healthcare Industry has undergone a wide range of regulatory changes, patient safety challenges to improve identifying patients, medications and procedures. Due to the vulnerability of treatment processes, it is lucrative to use IT applications for preventing errors and mistakes that humans can easily make. A large benefit of using IT in different operations is that it can improve the patient safety and nursing efficiency and therefore decrease the always notable healthcare expenditure. It is not always easy to integrate new technologies into healthcare, because of its criticality and vulnerability. In hospitals, medical equipment and applications may encounter interference or compatibility problems between current and new technologies. If this happens, lives of patients can be endangered. To streamline, automate, and improve accuracy within the healthcare market, regulatory personnel turned to the automatic identification industry for help. However, for successful implementation of any such tracking strategy, real-time data and item visibility is imperative which is where Radio Frequency Identification or RFiD comes in. 02 Radio frequency identification is gaining a foothold in the health-care sector, with a growing number of hospitals, medical centers and healthcare companies using the technology for asset tracking, patient monitoring and other applications. --Feb.22, 2010 Dallas Report (RF ID Journal) Issues faced by Hospitals Ø Medication Errors A 2002 study of medication errors at 14 acute care hospitals in Ontario counted over 4,000 errors, only 800 of which were counted as adverse drug effects. A study conducted at the Children s Hospital of Eastern Ontario published in 2003 counted over 800 medication errors during a six-year period. It is estimated that 98,000 people die in the U.S. each Year because of medical errors. Ø Operational inefficiencies Inability to rapidly find and track medical equipment, doctors, nurses, patients, and visitors in times of emergencies. Lost Revenue (It has been estimated that the theft of equipment and supplies costs hospitals $4,000 per bed each year and with over 975,000 staffed beds in the U.S., this represents a potential loss of $3.9 billion annually.) Medicines that need to be given to the right patients, in the right amount, at the right time, and from the right packages.

9 Conclusion Healthcare is predicted to be one o the major growth areas for RFID. Over the years, RFID technology had proved its ability in many applications. Patient safety and product tracking requirements will necessitate the adoption of RFID technology. Hospitals already have strong RFID applications which include asset and medical device tracking to promote patient safety and increase operational efficiency. In addition, some hospitals that have not yet adopted barcode technology can use RFID technology to leapfrog their competition in maintaining better asset visibility while reducing inventory levels. Health care providers (e.g., hospitals) have a chance to track fast and accurate patient identification, improve patient s safety by capturing basic data (such as patient unique ID, name, blood group, drug allergies, drugs that the patient is on today), prevent/reduce medical errors, increases efficiency and productivity, and cost savings through wireless communication. It also helps hospitals to build a better, more collaborative environment between different departments, such as the wards, medication, examination, and payment. Though it is a costly technology, RFID has become indispensable for a wide range of automated data collection and identification applications that would not be possible otherwise.
