Combining Radio Frequency Identification Tagging and Business Intelligence to Improve Quality, Lower Costs and Reduce Risks in Healthcare
What is RFID?
Radio Frequency Identification Tracking movement of items, people or
anything
Readers + Tags Readers detect radio frequency from tag Use antennas to cover area Passive and Active Tags
Examples of RFID
Soccer Goals Theme Parks Running Races
RFID in Healthcare
The global market for RFID tags and systems in health care will increase steadily from $90 million in 2006 to $2.1billion by 2016.
IDTechEx report "RFID in Healthcare 2006-16”
Examples of RFID in Healthcare
Tracking mobile assets Tracking newborns in maternity wards Tracking mobile at-risk patients
(geriatrics, Alzheimer, mentally ill / handicapped)
Tracking doctors Tracking medical charts Drug counterfeit tracking Blood tracking
The Problem Are you spending too much on medical
equipment? Typical hospital can’t locate 15-20% of its
assets.
Do you want your nurses to spend more time with patients? Time spent searching for missing equipment
equates to over $1,500 a year for every nurse.
Does one department often “lend” equipment to another? Managing the risk of equipment
being used by untrained staff is an issue in many hospitals.
The Solution: RFID
Readers 84mm x 40mm x 19mm 45 grams
Tags 85mm x 70mm x 9mm < 25 grams Other form factors are
available (bracelets etc.)
The ProblemAsset moves because of patient need…but are staff trained to use it?
Mobile asset
The Problem
Asset not always returned
So where is it?
Result = waste time searching
The Solution: RFID RFID tag attached to each
asset Tested to avoid interference
with hospital equipment
Readers placed at entry / exit points Creates monitored
“zones”
The Solution: RFID Asset moves
Reader detects tag presence Updates system automatically with
new location Raises alert if moved to
unauthorized area No change to working practices
RFID: Improve the Quality of Healthcare
Vital medical equipment located in the right place at the right time improves patient care and can save lives
Hospital staff, particularly nurses, can spend more time helping patients instead of looking for equipment

What is Business Intelligence
Hospital Beds
What is Business Intelligence?
A way to view and analyze a lot of data to better understand why something happened, is happening or could happen
Combining RFID with Business Intelligence
Harness the tracking capabilities of RFID and the powerful analysis , predictive and data visualization functionality of Business Intelligence
Combining RFID with Business Intelligence
Tracking and Analyzing the usage and movement of vital medical equipment over a period of time using Business Intelligence tools can help: Identify where equipment needs to be located Identify any surplus or shortage Improve nursing staff productivity Improve medical
equipment usage
productivity
Combining RFID with Business Intelligence
Controlling Asset Costs Owned vs. Rental Equipment Used vs. Unused Equipment Predictive and Intelligent Maintenance
scheduling Tracking Equipment Failure Rates and
down time
Combining RFID with Business Intelligence
Reduce Risks Ensure medical devices are only used on
wards where staff have been properly trained in their correct use.
Quickly track and quarantine equipment used in a contaminated area.
