Financial SnapshotMore than $2T (16% of GDP) spent on healthcare
Spend more for administrative processes (18%) than prescription medication (9%)
Substantial amount wasted due to errors, abuse, fraud, inefficiency (30%)
In 2007, GM claimed spending more for healthcare than steel for building an automobile
In 2000, more money than total GDP of France was spent on healthcare
Healthcare cost rising fastFast aging population of baby boomer
Most of healthcare spending for a person is during the last 10 years of life
Viability of Medicare fund
Many hospitals have financial difficulties
Building new hospitals without plan for staff
Snapshot from Florida

IOM Report in 1999To Err is Human: Building A Safer Health System
Hospital data 770,000 injuries caused by medication errors per year
39% physician ordering
38% drug administration
11% drug dispensing
44,000 – 98,000 preventable deaths per year
5% of patients acquire an infection from a hospitalBarcoding “is an effective remedy” for medication errors, “a simple way to ensure that … all of the steps in the dispensing
and administration processes are checked for timeliness and accuracy.”
Other industry dataAirline Safety: > 99.999999%
Airline baggage handling: > 99.999%

The pace of change “frustratingly slow”
The death rate has not decreased substantially.

RFID Project
National average utilization of mobile equipment is 45% -Universal Hospital Services
Hospitals can lose nearly $1 million a year in medical equipment thefts alone - HCPro Healthcare Marketplace
Five to fifteen percent of hospital inventory is written off each year since it can no longer be located or more importantly serviced - Frost & Sullivan
“Equipment moving from patient to patient without going through decontamination in between has become a significant issue to JCAHO in regard to infection control in hospitals” - JCAHO Sentinel Alert
To build an infrastructure for future patient safety improvements. It is very difficult to get infrastructure money.
Why Asset Management?
Managing infants
Managing medical device, consumables Theft prevention, location, storage, readiness
Bio-Medical service, repair, PM
Rental equipment management
Managing Patients
Managing nurses, technologists and physicians
Asset Management
Existing workflow / definition of problem
Tag type: passive or active
Tag size
Battery life
Resolution
Dependencies: density of tags, network,

Project management experiences
ROI (Return On Investment)
Technology Selection Criteria
Medical device management: tracking, rental, service
433 Mhz active tag
Smallest tag to maximize number of items to track
Real-time tracking (few times per minute)
Variable resolution: bed, room, department,..
Manage high density of tags in a room
Minimum additional network traffic
Clean installation: invisible readers
Web applications: support PDA, laptop, …
Less than three years for ROI

Comments
Active RFID and 1D/2D Barcode without passive RFID may be sufficient to address most, if not all, issues facing hospitals, effectively.
Even though there are privacy and security concerns, there will be more and more applications based on real time motion and location information.
