Abstract — RFID is a technology being adopted in many business fields, especially in the medical field. This work has the objective to present an automation system for a hospital’s clinical analysis laboratory. This system initially uses contactless smart cards to store patient’s data and for the authentication of hospital employees in the system. The proposed system also uses RFID tags stuck to containers containing patient’s collected samples for the correct identification of the patient who provided the samples. This work depicts a hospital laboratory workflow, presents the system’s modeling and deals with security matters related to information stored in the smart cards.
