RFID Healthcare and Pharmaceutical Solutions

Radio frequency identification technology, commonly called RFID, is making a major impact on the health care industry. With RFID tags or chips attached to both people and objects, RFID technology can provide identification, tracking, location, security, and other beneficial capabilities. RFID technology can significantly impact major issues currently experienced by healthcare organizations while also greatly reducing costs.

In the healthcare field, hospitals, other medical facilities, and pharmaceutical companies are employing RFID to improve patient safety, increase asset utilization with real-time tracking, boost revenue with automated billing and reduce medical errors using track and trace applications.

In the Pharmaceutical field, companies are exploring RFID technology and its potential for collecting pedigree data, as well as examining other potential uses, including reducing counterfeiting and theft and improving shipping accuracy. Let BCI help you learn how RFID is impacting ROI in the healthcare environment, and also improving efficiencies in the pharmaceutical industry.

There are 4 main areas benefiting from RFID technology in the health care and pharmaceutical industry:
