Hospitals
Hospitals by nature are dynamic organizations where fast action is required and can often mean the difference between life or death. Hospitals in these circumstances, can benefit enormously from the RFID technology.
The RFID wrist band is an efficient tool which is used to generate Patient information and is used to identify a patient with the Hospital Information System. This system provides insight into the Medication Administration , blood transfusion and catering which in turn increases efficiency, reduces the amount of errors, decreases costs and keeps the administration up to date.
Also, as a result the localization and availability of medical equipment is easier to obtain. This is made possible by the RFID registration process which registers the medical equipment to the appropriate department where it is in use. The registration process details information such as when the equipment will be next available and for which patient the equipment is being used.
Entrance control into hospitals is an important issue. Knowing who was in which room at what time is very important. In case of calamity you can see quickly who is present in which area. Also, in the case of infections it is easy to see who is part of the risk group.
Pharmacies
Distribution and quality control of medicine is easier with RFID. Tracking and tracing medicine with RFID from wholesale to end-user can increase the efficiency of distribution. Also, the control and administration of medicine can be fully automated and more cost-effective. Automated control of the expiration date when providing customers medicine vastly improves the service quality of pharmacies.

To control supporting care equipment, a detailed registration is of great importance. Also, incident registration and maintenance history can be simplified with RFID. As well as this, another great advantage of the RFID technology is the ability to easily monitor the location of your care assets.
