Clinical and medical engineering teams face a daily battle to locate equipment. A white paper from Harland Simon explains the benefits of using RFID technology to track and manage medical devices.
Radio-frequency identification (RFID) technology is proven to be highly effective in managing medical devices, providing a fast and accurate way of capturing asset data and automatically tracking the location. Many Trusts across the UK are successfully using RFID technology and yet many more are still unclear of its applications and benefits. With little dedicated literature available to healthcare providers, Harland Simon commissioned an independent white paper to provide a comprehensive overview of RFID technology applied in a healthcare setting.
Hot off the press this month, the white paper Tracking medical devices: The role of active and passive RFID as part of an effective medical device management system explains what is driving the adoption of RFID, how the technology works and its benefits. To help those putting together a business case for RFID funding, the author also usefully illustrates the benefits with four case studies. The case studies demonstrate how Trusts in England and Scotland are applying the technology to achieve a solid return on investment. An exclusive preview of this white paper is provided in this article, along with a link to download the full copy.
