RFID technology provides automated data capture system that is reliable. It helps enable hundreds of healthcare applications to improve patient safety, automate billing, authenticate quality, automate supply chain management and so much more. Take a look at the top five ways RFID has proven to be beneficial for hospitals:

Asset Management & Financial Audits get simplified

Tracking healthcare assets with RFID enables gathering asset data in a fraction of the time it would take to manually locate the assets.

The hospital staff can capture asset data with the pull of the trigger with the RFID reader, eliminating the labor involved in trying to identify the assets with a barcode or an asset label. 

Streamlined Maintenance

RFID enables the hospital staff to streamline the equipment locating process that is in need of maintenance. Once the assets are located, RFID can be used to track it through the MRO process.

Guaranteed safety of patients

RFID helps healthcare workers to organize and arrange the patients’ medication, meals, and also keep track of their medical history. 

Wrist bracelets can also be placed on a newborn baby’s hands to help prevent any unauthorized movement, and ensure their safety. 

RFID technology can also help prevent contact between patients in case of any contagious diseases.

Supply Chain Inventory Management

Reduce supply chain and equipment costs and reduce product expiration, shrinkage and waste.

Loss Prevention

Tagging medical assets and placing RFID portals in strategic locations, can help hospitals in getting alerted when assets are moving outside their designated area of use. This in turn aids in ensuring devices are properly accounted for.

Hospitals can benefit a lot from RFID technology by boosting efficiency in their processes. RFID also provides an extremely reliable and automated way to track healthcare assets. Use it to help collect better data, reduce labor costs and streamline your processes.
