Paper Abstract:
|
Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology is increasingly being explored for deployment in hospitals to improve
their existing processes. In recent years, RFID pilots has lead to full scale implementation in hospitals, especially for
tracking of expensive equipment as well as movable assets that are critical in surgeries. However, academic research is
yet to emerge with a generic process model that can be adapted contextually for deployment of RFID in particular
hospital settings. In this paper, we propose an action research framework for a pilot implementation of RFID in a large
Indian hospital, the experiences of which will contribute to and result in the development of such a process model. |
