- Authors
Ashar, Binita S.; Ferriter, Ann
- Abstract
This article presents information of radio frequency identification (RFID) and how it can be a wonderful tool to improve patient care. But, because there are so many wireless technologies at work in medical settings, there is the possibility of interference between systems. The authors explain RFID and its many advantages. Two general categories for using RFID technology are being established in health care settings: for the control of drugs and medical devices and the other to capture data from the point of care. The potential risks for communication interference are listed along with ideas on how to prevent it.
