RFID not only makes a contribution in the field of clothing, but its technology can be said to bring some simple and efficient methods in various fields such as: logistics, transportation, retail, supermarkets, medical, military, asset management. , personnel positioning, package tracking, almost need to manage the place, it can bring some help!
1. Improve surgical instrument tracking
Many hospitals are using this technology to track surgical instruments and other items, thereby saving time by eliminating manual counting, ensuring that each item is properly sterilized to reduce the risk of infection, and better managing inventory.
2. Improve patient safety
In addition to ensuring that the device is properly sterilized, RFID can also be used to safely manage medications in hospitals using "smart" cabinets. RFID wristbands can also help ensure that patients receive the appropriate dose of each drug at the right time. In some institutions, RFID has even been used to track the location of dementia patients to prevent their loss.
3. Better supply chain management
Hospitals are under pressure to reduce costs. By using RFID to track inventory of supplies and medical equipment, suppliers can create solutions that automatically trigger supply orders based on real-time inventory information. This can help avoid unnecessary orders and ensure that employees have access to the materials they need.
4. UDI compliance
FDA requires medical device manufacturers to uniquely identify medical devices to help simplify tracking and recall management. By using RFID tags for UDI applications, manufacturers can maintain compatibility while allowing healthcare to more easily track and manage their devices within the medical structure, all without the bar code scanning requirements. Therefore, it is more accurate, easier, and more time-saving.
5. Improve asset management
Nurses and doctors waste time looking for equipment every week. By connecting RFID tags to wheelchairs, beds, IV pumps, and other items, hospitals can locate them and improve asset utilization. This saves time for nursing staff and helps hospitals avoid unnecessary waste of assets through more accurate asset counts, which saves time and saves capital!
In addition, RFID can also be used to track and control the use of hospital contact history. Each epidemic prevention and government unit can immediately and accurately grasp the dynamic information of the entire treatment process, thereby preventing the recurrence of nosocomial infection control problems similar to the SARS epidemic.
