Tracking in Patient Healthcare in an ICU via the Incorporation of RFID Technology
Keywords:
: NFC, ICU, traceability, RFID etc.Abstract
Patient safety is a major concern for healthcare professionals in the treatment process and it is therefore important to provide information management systems for each hospital unit, capable of tracking patients and medication to minimize the occurrence of adverse events, thus increasing the quality of care received by patients during their hospital stay. This paper provides a tool for the Intensive Care Unit (ICU), a vital facility with special features that computerize and monitors admissions, vital monitoring, care plans, the prescription and medication administration process. To attain this, it is important to incorporate revolutionary and cutting-edge technologies such as Near Field Communication (NFC) technology that is now being applied in a variety of environments, adding a range of benefits to the purposes for which it is employed.
