            Abstract : 
RFID can be used for extracting, controlling and tracking of relevant information during medical attendance conforming to defined clinical pathways. Based on obtained information clinical pathways can be improved and a higher capacity utilisation of medical resources can be achieved. Problems result out of financial, security and psychological aspects.
