How it works

1. Tag Items

RFID tags are attached to assets. Depending on the type of asset, an RFID label, on metal tag or specialty RFID tag be may be used. The hidden benefit of RFID is that RFID tags also provides serialization for each asset.

2. Establish Read Zones

Depending on visibility requirements, create RFID read zones at strategic locations within your facility to pick up asset information as they move throughout your facility. In addition, use RFID handhelds to conduct cycle counts and audits of the facility

3. Harness the Data

Harness the data – as you collect information on asset positioning and movement, understand asset utilization. Better equip key areas with assets so personnel are not taking time searching at times of need.

Valuable Workflows

Asset positioning

Use RFID technology, including overhead devices and portal readers to capture movement of assets throughout a facility. Use intelligence to map out asset movement and positioning. Take advantage of software to view graphically through dashboarding capabilities.

Cycle Counts / Audits

Use RFID to quickly, efficiently and accurately conduct cycle counts and audits. With RFID, bulk scan RFID tags to cutdown on manual counting efforts. Understand variances right away and take action.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is RFID asset tracking?

RFID (Radio-Frequency Identification) asset tracking is a system that uses radio waves to identify, locate, and monitor tagged items. In a hospital setting, it’s used to track medical equipment, supplies, and other valuable assets.

How does RFID asset tracking work in a hospital?

RFID tags are attached to hospital assets. These tags emit radio signals that are picked up by RFID readers installed throughout the facility. The readers send the information to a central database, allowing staff to track the location and status of assets in real-time.

What are the benefits of using RFID asset tracking in hospitals?

Improved asset utilization
Reduced equipment loss and theft
Enhanced patient care through quicker location of necessary equipment
Streamlined inventory management
Increased operational efficiency
Better compliance with regulatory requirements

What types of assets can be tracked using RFID in hospitals?

Almost any asset can be tracked, including:

Medical equipment (IV pumps, ventilators, wheelchairs)
Surgical instruments
Patient beds
Computers and other electronics
Medication carts
Supplies

Is RFID asset tracking cost-effective for hospitals?

While there is an initial investment, RFID asset tracking often proves cost-effective in the long run. It reduces equipment loss, improves staff productivity, and can lead to better patient outcomes, all of which contribute to cost savings.

How does RFID asset tracking improve patient care?

By quickly locating necessary equipment, staff can respond faster to patient needs. It also ensures that equipment is properly maintained and available when needed, reducing delays in treatment.

Are there any privacy concerns with RFID tracking in hospitals?

RFID systems used for asset tracking typically don’t contain patient information. However, hospitals must ensure their RFID systems comply with relevant privacy laws and regulations of those countries.

How does RFID compare to barcode tracking?

RFID offers several advantages over barcodes:

No line-of-sight is required for scanning
Ability to read multiple tags simultaneously
Greater durability of tags
Potential for real-time tracking

Can RFID asset tracking integrate with existing hospital systems?

Yes, most RFID asset tracking systems can integrate with hospital information systems, inventory management software, and equipment maintenance systems for seamless operation.

What are the challenges of implementing RFID asset tracking in hospitals?

The initial cost of implementation Potential interference with other electronic equipment (though modern RFID systems have largely mitigated this) Staff training and adoption Ensuring comprehensive coverage throughout the facility

How accurate is RFID asset tracking?

Modern RFID systems can be highly accurate, often pinpointing assets to within a few feet. However, accuracy can be affected by factors such as the placement of readers and the presence of materials that interfere with radio signals.

Can RFID tags be reused or recycled?

Many RFID tags can be reused multiple times. When they reach the end of their life, some types can be recycled, although this often requires specialized recycling processes.
