How RFID is used in hospital systems

Foreword
Today, with the continuous improvement of the medical system, the degree of informatization of the hospital has been greatly enhanced. Nowadays, large hospitals have already used the Hospital Information System (HIS). After the application of the HIS system, they have facilitated the public to seek medical treatment and also improved Medical service level.
However, some problems in the current HIS system can not be solved at all. For example, in the face of emergencies and in the face of patients who must be promptly rescued, doctors and nurses must first look for the patient's case, view the patient's medical history and the history of drug allergies Important information will be timely rescue for the situation, but these will delay the best time to rescue patients.
1.RFID for you to solve all the troubles
When the hospital adopts the RFID system, these problems will be solved. Each hospitalized patient will wear a wristband with RFID technology, which stores patient's relevant information, including basic personal information and drug allergy history and other important information. Much more detailed information can be mapped into the database by electronic coding on RFID tags.
In the existing HIS system of the hospital, basic information has been entered for each registered patient. However, this information does not always follow the patient. Only the medical staff can find the accurate information of the patient before going to the computer terminal in the office area. Now, with a simple RFID smart bracelet,点击打开链接 healthcare professionals can get accurate information about every patient, anytime, anywhere.
RFID在医院系统中的应用
The hospital server stores the patient's complete and complete case. Each Ward doctor's RFID handset点击打开链接 can also store the relevant cases of the patient in charge. The handset can accurately read the information on the patient's wristband and can also write Corresponding information, such as: whether the patient is allergic to a certain medicine, whether the needle has been taken today, whether or not the medicine has been eaten today, etc., greatly improves the efficiency of hospital management of patients, RFID technology can completely replace the existing bed Patient information card.
In daily medical activities, we do apply patient signs all the time, including the use of bedside identification cards that record patient conditions, patient inpatient services, and more. Hospital staff often use words like "Patient 10, taking medicine" to guide patients to various treatments. Unfortunately, these methods often result in false recognitions and even medical accidents. In fact, we have not really used the correct and effective patient identification to reduce medical accidents and improve medical management.
The hospital clearly identifies the patient should follow the following three basic principles: to provide the exact identity of the patient, and the logo accurate and uniform, covering all relevant departments of the hospital; the establishment of patients and medical records, a clear correspondence between the various treatment activities; the use of reliable Of the logo products, to ensure that the patient logo will not be replaced or lost.
By using a specially designed smart-Wrist wristband, a 24-hour personal label attached to a patient's wrist marked with patient-critical data can be used to effectively and promptly identify patients quickly and accurately. At the same time, the specially designed patient identification tape can be prevented from being replaced or removed to ensure the uniqueness and correctness of the identification object.
We also advise hospital staff to wear RFID-enabled badges, so that hospitals can not only manage their patients, but they can also find the doctors they need most in times of emergency.
The advantages of using RFID
- To help doctors or nurses confirm the identity of patients with difficult communication.
- Surveillance, tracking of unauthorized persons entering high-risk areas.
- When medical emergencies, epidemics, terrorist threats and other conditions pose a threat to the normal and efficient functioning of hospitals, the RFID system can facilitate the implementation of restrictive measures to prevent unauthorized access to hospital care by staff, patients and patients.
- Wristbands allow hospital administrators to encrypt portions of data so that they will not be cracked by other people even if the wristband is lost.
RFID in maternal and child identification on the application
In addition to the application functions we mentioned above, RFID wristbands can be used in many aspects of hospitals, for example, in the identification of mothers and babies.
Who can not accurately express their condition of the patient? Yes, that is, newborns. Newborn babies have similar characteristics and lack of understanding and expression, which often leads to misidentification if not effectively labeled. Therefore, the identification of newborns is still important. Mother and baby are a match, there is a management vulnerability of the baby alone, can not put an end to malicious human exchange.
At present, there are such problems as the mother grasping the wrong baby and the baby being stolen at the hospital. How to effectively prevent this problem is to add RFID technology to the existing management software, including the wristband, the handheld reader and the access control system.

When the nurse with the baby to leave, the identification of the baby's wristband identification information must be matched with the mother to leave, if the information does not match, the access control system will give an alarm, which can effectively prevent the baby being held wrong.
Prevent babies being held wrong:
The hand-held RFID reader carried by the nurse reads the information in the RFID maternal and infant identification tape worn by the mother and the baby, respectively, and confirms the identity matching of the two parties so as to prevent the infants born at the same age from being wrongly held.
Baby burglary
Fixed RFID readers are required to be placed at the entrances and exits of the various care wards and each time a nurse and a baby need to pass through, a nurse's ID card and a RFID tag Ward door can be opened. At the same time, nurses' identity information, baby's identity information and access time are recorded in the database. With monitoring video, security can always monitor the key areas of the situation.
In addition to dramatically reducing the likelihood of infants getting caught in the wrong hands, hospitals can also benefit from RFID wristbands. For example, RFID wristband engraved with the name of birth portraits and other sold to mothers.
