What is RFID? Radio Frequency Identification Technology that uses radio waves to automatically detect objects Active RFID
> Used more in real-time location (RTLS) systems and large assets like beds, infusion pumps, etc.
> Uses a battery-powered tag
Passive RFID > Works by storing a unique serial number on a RFID tag (label), which
consists of a microchip and antenna embedded inside the tag. > The RFID reader sends out an electromagnetic signal, which energizes
the chip in the tag, which then uses the antenna to transmit the serial number back to the reader.
> The serial number is assigned at the time of tag printing.

AP Workflow – Specimens to Pathology
10/17/2016 LEGACY HEALTH 35
Specimens dropped on RFID pad reader in the pathology department
Specimens arrive labeled with specimen source and patient information > Improves AP workflow
The specimen source entered on order is the source printed on the specimen label.
> Improves Endo workflow Do not have to hand-write source, which could result in discrepancies, and
was difficult to do on small specimen labels. Fewer labels required
Label fits on all sizes of specimen containers

AP Workflow – Accessioning
10/17/2016 LEGACY HEALTH 36
• Endoscopy orders were built in the AP module instead of the Gen Lab module • A single accession number is used for all specimens (+ A, B, C, D) • Specimens are auto-verified once logged in • Formerly, lab assistants used three separate applications in the LIS to
generate a surgical accession number

Keys to Making RFID Successful Have patience with the
development of new technology > Avoid impacting other projects
Fine-tune RFID > Pay attention to the location of
perches and readers Proximity of perches and pad
readers to one another The location of perches vs.
specimen disposal or storage areas Mirrors
> Adjust the sensitivity of perches and pad readers
Communicate with clinical staff and laboratory staff > Get input from clinical staff
regarding their workflow > Be aware of the impact on users

Benefits of RFID Specimen Tracking
Preventive action > Additional patient safety mechanism
Inherent reduction in labeling errors Prevention of specimen loss
> ISO requirements
“Closing the loop” > A natural extension of laboratory barcode and tracking
process to allow real-time tracking of irreplaceable specimens from collection to pathologist.
Developing relationships with hospital departments > Integration of Endoscopy and Anatomic Pathology
processes (Lean).
