Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) In Healthcare Market Insights

Big Calls For "Auto-ID Technologies"

Proponents of RFID possess many potential advantages over existing and conventional Auto-ID technologies that involve bar-coding for improvement in the supply chain and other processes. Barcode labels are normally read-only, however, RFID tags have specialties like both read and write capability, making them versatile. Unlike barcode scanning, which requires labels to be individually read, groups of RFID tags can be read simultaneously thereby enhancing productivity. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) evaluate the use of RFID tags for verifying product degree. In June 2013, FDA announced clearance to RFDI to track the safety and efficiency of the nation’s blood supply. The lab was one of the three lead Wisconsin partners in the project that involves Blood Center of Wisconsin and SysLogic Inc., a Milwaukee-based information systems firm. Together, the teams researched, designed, developed, and tested a new RFID-enabled solution namely, "iTrace" for blood centers that will automatically identify, reconcile, and track blood products.

RFID Technology Possesses Huge Potential For Healthcare Facilities

RFID cites the high potential for healthcare facilities the improvement in patient safety and reduces costs. Early adoption of RFID directs to track medical devices, drugs, staff, and patients. RFID is a technology that uses electronic chips embedded in tags to transmit radio waves. The tag contains information about products or people, their physical location in real-time, and other information such as lot number ad expiration date for medical supplies and drugs, patient allergies or blood type, and others. When transmitted to a reader within the facility, the information can be stored in a database or used by the staff. In the past, majority of the healthcare facilities used to track various resources and patients manually, or by using bar-coding. RFID is a tool that can overcome manual efforts. RFID technology utilization in blood banks, laboratories, and pharmaceutical companies for better workflow management AVERY DENNISON CORPORATION a pioneer in RFID-based drug management systems implements Smartrac’s RAIN RFID tags that guarantee the integrity of the supply chain. Additionally, Hanmi Pharmaceutical Co., one of Korea's largest pharmaceutical companies, employs RFID to increase efficiency, monitor product movements, and assist in carrying out government-regulated quality management. The company already uses RAIN RFID tags to track 60 million product units annually, from packaging to picking and shipping. This enables an automated process from order receipt to the shipment of a packed carton to the wholesaler. As pharmaceutical goods are one of the most sensitive and supervised product groups globally, product tracking and management system must be completely reliable and proof against theft, fraud, and counterfeiting.

RFID In Inventory Management Plays A Vital Role

Incorporation of RFID enables effective management of inventory, prevention of stock, ad overstock situations. These systems enable real-time data management, which leads to the prevention of inventory loss and theft. By integration of RFID-enabled systems facilitates better inventory management in situations of less overstock thereby improving operational efficiency. Spacecode's technologies and healthcare inventory management solutions revolutionize inventory management and traceability with their RFID technology resulting in more effective workflow, optimized patient care, and lower costs. Spacecode's BLOODSPACE solution is a blood bank management system for hospitals. It utilizes BLOODSPACE RFID in combination with compatible software to track and trace blood components within the hospital's Critical Control Points (CCP). This ensures safe cold chain control and prevention of adverse effects.

Rising Demand From Healthcare Companies Drives The Market Growth
