Medical application based on Radio Frequency Identification (RFID)

To prevent medical errors or even accidents, the closed-loop application is designed based on Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology in the Hospital Information System (HIS). We focus on the information collection and verification for doctor´s order execution based on RFID. The whole closed-loop process starts from the initial collection of the patient´s information, through confirmation of the unique identification of the patient, and to the finishing of the doctor´s order execution at last. The final information is written back into HIS. Medical staff can collect and deal with the patient´s information straightly through the system, thereby guarantee maximal medical information correctness. We implement the overall system of the closed-loop process of the doctor´s order, which includes the wireless system architecture based on RFID in the ward environment and workflow realization.
