How Does RFID Technology Help Hospitals Achieve Smart Management?

In the medical field, traditional hospitals tend to collect and record information manually, which is easy to cause errors and confusion in information records, resulting in hospital property losses and medical accidents. In response to the above-mentioned drawbacks, medical institutions have introduced more and more humanized medical management systems and smart devices in recent years. They use RFID technology  to maximize the avoidance of hospital deficiencies, strengthen the management of patients, medical staff and hospital materials, and improve the level of comprehensive medical services in hospitals. Let's take a look at the applications of RFID technology in promoting the development of smart hospitals. 1.Patient management - keep track of the whereabouts of patients Under the Smart Medical System, each patient is assigned an RFID wristband tag when he or she visits the doctor. The tag contains the patient's medical visit, such as whether infusion is required, whether there is any adverse reaction, the name and specification of the injected drug, the injection record, as well as the responsible attending physician, the treatment process, past medical history, and the course of medication. All these data only require medical staff to read the tags with handheld terminals, without manual entry and manual checking. The entire process is paperless, and one medical wristband can pass through the whole hospital. This not only saves the communication time between patients and medical staff, but also improves the efficiency of monitoring. For elderly patients, dementia patients or patients with suspected infectious diseases, it is necessary to know their whereabouts and take care of them at all times. The fixed RFID reader  is set at the ward, building and other entrances and exits, once the patient out of the range of activities, the reader will read the tag that does not meet the regulations, will take the initiative to notify the nurse station. 2. Drug management - the arrival of drugs can be tracked Each hospitals and departments can adopt RFID technology for rapid identification and anti-counterfeiting traceability in the receipt, transportation, distribution and preservation of drugs, so as to prevent the occurrence of misdistribution and misallocation and put an end to medical accidents. And RFID tags have a large storage capacity, fast transmission speed, can not be counterfeit, can be concurrent identification and other technical characteristics. We can consider using RFID drug tag to optimize the production, circulation, sales and other links of the entire medical product. In this way, we can obtain accurate information flow immediately. At the same time, it can increase and improve the monitoring in the circulation process, effectively realize anti-counterfeiting and prevent the inflow of fake drugs into the market. 3. Fabric management - prevent secondary infection RFID washing labels  can be sewn directly on the woven fabric and record information such as department, ward and textile category.  RFID fixed readers can be installed in the laundry room or fabric mail room, read the RFID label while receiving and dispatching fabric according to the department. It can also use handheld RFID reader for non-contact scanning inventory, so that the types and quantities of medical fabrics can be counted accurately without opening the cabinet or opening the box.   4.Medical supplies management - Say goodbye to lost supplies Through RFID technology to build a more complete high-value medical supplies tracking and traceability system, from the determination of medical supplies procurement varieties and quantities, to the medical supplies automatically into the warehouse and out of the warehouse, and then intraoperative use of automatic precise associated to the patient, so that each medical supplies can be traced up to the supplier, manufacturer and down back to the attending physician and patient. At the same time, the real-time inventory, accounting and payment of high-value consumables can be viewed dynamically anytime and anywhere. 5.Improved asset management RFID electronic tags are attached to medical devices, and the tags are scanned by RFID handheld terminal machines to read the specific information of the devices, as well as the related records of each use, maintenance, repair and inspection, so as to ensure the accuracy and completeness of the contents of the device package, improve the safety of surgery and patients, fully automatic detection, and avoid manual errors. It also saves time on missing instruments, inspection operations, etc., accurate and clear handover between departments, and avoids accidents with instruments left behind.
