Patients who wander from hospitals and nursing homes are a challenge to personnel in charge of their protection. Patients with Alzheimer's disease, head injuries, Parkinson's disease or other forms of dementia are likely wanderers. In our special report on Electronic Technology and the Wandering Patient (February 1986 issue,) we reported that several hundred nursing homes and a few hospitals had turned to Electronic Article Surveillance (EAS) systems that detect wanderers. Since then, the same type of technology has been extended to protect newborns from being kidnapped from hospital maternity wards as well as protect hospital property from being removed. In this report we will describe many of the leading EAS systems in use in the health care environment. We'll also present firsthand reports by users on their experience with this technology.
从医院和疗养院走失的患者给负责保护他们的人员带来了挑战。患有阿尔茨海默病、头部受伤、帕金森病或其他形式痴呆症的患者很可能会走失。在我们关于电子技术与走失患者的特别报告（1986年2月期）中，我们报道了几百家疗养院和几家医院已采用能检测走失者的电子商品监视（EAS）系统。从那时起，同一类型的技术已扩展到保护新生儿不被从医院产科病房绑架，以及保护医院财产不被搬走。在本报告中，我们将描述许多在医疗保健环境中使用的领先EAS系统。我们还将呈现用户关于他们使用这项技术的亲身经历的报告。
