| RFID is an enabling technology with a prospect to help Healthcare Sector. RFID is evolving as a major technology enabler for identifying and tracking goods and assets around the world. It can help hospitals locate expensive equipment more quickly to improve patient care, pharmaceutical companies to reduce counterfeiting, and logistics providers to improve the management of moveable assets. It also promises to enable new efficiencies in the supply chain by tracking goods from the point of manufacture through to the retail point of sale. |
| The Medical and Healthcare industry has never been more focused than now, exploring the methods to save more lives and to reduce expenses. Technology is helping to increase these efficiencies. RFID technology is specifically being put to use in different areas of healthcare systems, the use RFID automates most processes in the Hospital Management, it can identify and locate Patients, and the expensive medical equipments, tracking blood and much more.. |
| The use of DELONTI’s RFID systems to track asset provide a distinctive set of benefits. Surgical instruments and other devices must be properly cleaned and packaged between uses. Tags on the instruments and readers on the sterilization chambers and storage cabinets can validate proper cleaning and help locate needed instruments. Since medical devices are often mounted on portable carts, smart tags placed on the devices and readers installed in the doorways can enable personnel to quickly locate a crucial piece of equipment and immediately determine its fitness for use Patient care. Similarly, catastrophic errors would be completely traceable from manufacture to use, and preventative maintenance on equipment could be more accurately tracked. |
| Hospitals currently have to track radioactive isotopes throughout the facility from storage to transport and then from administration to disposal. RFID tags and readers can automate these tasks thereby saving time and resources. |
| RFID streamline the management of assets (such as Operation Theatre Equipments or containers) and increase the efficiency by reducing the equipment needed or reducing labour, thus translating into higher returns. Reduced assets shrinkage, increase ROI. Lead times are reduced with the increased efficiency to handle the assets. |
| As pallets of Medicines and Equipments are received in the pharmacy, the data is made available to a function for scheduling the stocking process. DELONTI’s application already consists of the current inventory levels in the store and will schedule stocking of merchandise that is either out-of-stock or at a low inventory level. |
| The automatic identification of products inside the store would increase the inventory visibility and its accuracy. |
