Paper Abstract:
|
The tasks and objectives of Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) are to provide information on goods and products. It
has already been established for years in the areas of logistics and trading and can no longer be ignored by the German
health care sector, which shall be the backdrop of this investigation. Some German hospitals have already discovered the
capabilities of RFID. Improvements in quality, safety and reductions in risk, cost and time are aspects and areas where
improvements are achievable. Privacy protection, legal restraints, and the personal rights of patients and staff members
are just a few aspects which make the heath care sector a sensitive field for the implementation of RFID. To consider
comprehensively the process of implementation of RFID in a hospital it is important to minimize risk and to consider the
special requirements of the health care sector. A practical, usable process model has to be devised. Practical experiences
in the implementation and configuration of RFID and interviews with Chief Technology Officers (CTO) of German
hospitals have been the basis for the model explained here. |
