Technologies that increase efficiency, enhance quality, and improve patient safety are essential for all healthcare organizations. Radio frequency identification devices (RFIDs) seem to be right for this challenge. RFIDs can be integrated into all areas of the internal patient supply chain, serving as clearinghouses of information. By providing timely information on patients, processes, and equipment, RFIDs can save time and reduce costs while simultaneously improving quality and patient safety. Healthcare leaders owe it to all constituencies to take a serious look at what RFIDs can offer.
提高效率、提升质量并改善患者安全的技术对所有医疗保健机构而言至关重要。射频识别设备（RFID）似乎适合应对这一挑战。RFID可集成到内部患者供应链的所有领域，充当信息交换中心。通过提供有关患者、流程和设备的及时信息，RFID可以节省时间、降低成本，同时提高质量和患者安全。医疗保健领域的领导者有责任认真审视RFID所能提供的价值，这是对所有相关方负责。
