Health Care Implementation Scenario
RFID in Healthcare - Scenarios Cinerva & Vestige Technologies Pvt Ltd
RFID in Healthcare - Scenarios Healthcare implementations of RFID revolve around high value asset tracking with minimal human involvement: Patient Tracking Where are our patients spending most of their time? How much time do they spend waiting to be served? Where are the patient records? Can reports, samples, tests all be reliably linked to the correct patient? Asset Tracking & Inventory Management Where are our beds, wheelchairs, mobile medical equipment located right now? Which items are missing and when did they go missing? Which items are below the threshold level and need to be ordered? Medication Tracking Which pharmaceuticals are located on each floor of my hospital? Which of these drugs will expire within the next 6 months? How much of each medicine is consumed on a daily basis? Cinerva & Vestige Technologies Pvt Ltd
