Medical application based on Radio Frequency Identification (RFID)
Hong Wang, Fei Wu · 2013
To prevent medical errors or even accidents, the closed-loop application is designed based on Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology in the Hospital Information System (HIS). We focus on the information collection and verification for doctor's order execution based on RFID. The whole closed-loop process starts from the initial collection of the patient's information, through confirmation of the unique identification of the patient, and to the finishing of the doctor's order execution at last. The final information is written back into HIS. Medical staff can collect and deal with the patient's information straightly through the system, thereby guarantee maximal medical information correctness. We implement the overall system of the closed-loop process of the doctor's order, which includes the wireless system architecture based on RFID in the ward environment and workflow realization.
