Application of RFid in hospitals
A pilot test was conducted by Holbert Systems for Medi Clinic Hospital Group to monitor the time spent by patients in operation theatres. In the test RFid tag was attached to patient’s bed before entering the operation theatre. A RFid reader was deployed in each theatre and a data buffer in each theatre complex. This enabled information regarding patient’s identity and the exact time spent during surgery to be transmitted to a software interface competent of communicating with the hospital’s information system. This application will certainly improve the payment terms with insurance companies.
