The use of radio frequency identification device (RFID) technology within the healthcare industry was researched and specific instances of implementation of this technology in the hospital environment were examined.
The study primarily makes use of ideas from operations and supply chain management, such as work flow diagrams, value stream mapping, and poka-yokes (mistake proofing measures) for investigations of processes, failures, and solutions.
This study presents a step-by-step approach of how to implement the use of RFID tracking systems within the entire hospital. A number of poka-yokes were also devised for improving the safety of the patient and cost effectiveness of the hospital to insure the success of the hospital health care delivery system.
Many players in the hospital environment may be impacted. This includes patients, doctors, nurses, technicians, administrators, and other hospital personnel. Insurance and government agencies may be impacted as well. Different levels of training of hospital personnel will be required based on the degree of interaction with the RFID system. References to costs, Return On Investment, change management, ethical and legal considerations are also made to help the reader understand the benefits and implications of the technology in the hospital environment.
研究了射频识别设备（RFID）技术在医疗行业中的应用，并考察了该技术在医院环境中的具体实施案例。
该研究主要运用运营和供应链管理中的理念，如流程图、价值流映射以及防错措施（防错方法）来调查流程、故障及解决方案。
本研究提出了在整个医院实施RFID跟踪系统使用的逐步方法。还设计了一些防错措施，以提高患者安全性和医院成本效益，确保医院医疗服务系统的成功。
医院环境中的许多参与者可能会受到影响。这包括患者、医生、护士、技术人员、管理人员和其他医院工作人员。保险和政府机构也可能受到影响。根据与RFID系统的交互程度，将需要对医院人员进行不同程度的培训。还提及了成本、投资回报率、变革管理、伦理和法律考量，以帮助读者理解该技术在医院环境中的益处和影响。
