Efficiency and Safety of New Radiofrequency Identification System in a Hospital

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

New RFID tags increased read accuracy, even with the tag placed on metallic objects. However, the read range seemed to be reduced from an average of 2.5m. Electric fields produced by RFID had no significant effects on cardiac pacemakers. The RFID systems did not interfere with ICDs. ECG recorder, ECG monitor, IABP, infusion pump, and respirator were worked normally under operation of RFID systems. Radiofrequency tags attached to people and capital equipments within our hospitals provide more extensive identification than traditional bar coding can. The results show that our system's average positioning and orientation measurement outperforms existing systems in terms of accuracy. Radiofrequency identification data technology was found to provide feasible and accurate means for capturing and evaluating nursing time spent in patient rooms. Depending on the outcomes patient room, leaders should work with staff to maximize patient care time.
