Five major benefits of RFID technology in the medical field

Over time, RFID technology has proven to provide a strong return on investment (ROI) in a hospital environment. According to Xerafy's experience with hospital customers worldwide, the following five benefits are key areas of improvement in ROI.

Five major benefits of RFID technology in the medical field

Manual savings:

In the operating room, nurses and other staff members manually count the surgical instruments before and after each operation. Although this process is time consuming, it ensures patient safety (no equipment is inadvertently missed in the body after suturing) to ensure the correct tool is used for surgery and to reduce asset losses. With RFID, these manual techniques will be eliminated and the hospital can automatically track the instrument through the sterilization process.

Asset utilization:

Nursing staff typically spend time each week looking for important equipment: wheelchairs, IV pumps, monitors and other assets. Because these projects are in great demand, departments sometimes hide or hoard them and cause them to not run out. This has led to inventory imbalances and “loss” of assets. By using RFID to detect asset locations, hospitals can make it easy for workers to find the closest equipment they need. This visibility also makes idle assets easier to identify, thereby avoiding unnecessary asset purchases. Such tracking can also increase the FDA's unique device identifier (UDI) requirements for medical device tracking.

Inventory management:

Using RFID to tag high-value inventory can improve the visualization of drugs, implants, surgical instruments, and other items that are difficult to manually track. Using specialized inventory software, the hospital can set the replenishment level so that when the solution senses that inventory has fallen below this point (using RFID data), new inventory can be automatically ordered. This saves time and ensures that the facility does not run low on critical projects.

Handrails play a very important role in the aging of the family. Through a small handrail, create a safe and secure living environment for the elderly at home. When installing the handrail, pay attention to determine the installation height of the handrail according to the height of the elderly at home. The armrest is located at the crotch of the elderly. Generally speaking, it is about 80 to 85 cm from the ground. In order to provide safe and effective support for the elderly, different products need to be selected according to different installation conditions. Some families want to install handrails on non-load-bearing walls. We suggest that they install lining plates first, and then install handrails on the lining plates.

When selecting the material of the handrail, pay attention to the coordination with the furniture environment, create a warm atmosphere, avoid making it cold and hard, and do not give the elderly the illusion of "being a patient". For example, the wooden handrail in the video looks very warm and feels good. It is suitable for the elderly.
