Abstract :
In preparation for the imminent opening of the health care market, hospitals are focusing on developing medical services that can differentiate themselves. In order to achieve such goals, we have designed and implemented a system that can provide next generation health care services by implementing RFID and Web service technology, as well as mobile technology. This system will provide improved health care services such as 1 on 1 services to patients regardless of their location and time and it will also prevent the issuing of false prescriptions, which is a major systematic problem in Korean health care system. The system suggested in this thesis will provided features that will allow easy implementation of the RFID technology in various health care tasks, while allowing existing health care systems to scale to a ubiquitous environment without having to change anything.
