Abstract

Abstract- This article presents our method of applying radio frequency identification (RFID) technology within healthcare organizations, with the key concept of treating it as a supply chain enterprise. We present past research relating to the pertinent elements, including RFID, supply chain reference model (SCOR model), healthcare supply chains. We then present our methodology for evaluating the supply chain, understanding where to possibly implement RFID, evaluate how it would impact the enterprise metrics and processes, evaluate the return on investment (ROI) of these, evaluate the cross-dependency, choose areas to proceed forward with implementation, and finally begin implementation. Additionally, we present the results of a recent company where this was implemented. Keywords- Enterprise management, SCOR model, RFID, healthcare, hospital.

Abstract

Abstract- Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) systems have been successfully applied and shown its worth in many fields of manufacturing, transportation, agriculture, healthcare and supply chain just to name a few. The use of RFID in healthcare and hospital services has increased significantly over the years due to its credibility and accuracy. RFID technology is acting crucial in item level tracing and tracking systems in hospital scenarios. The aim of the paper is to express and display the role of RFID technology in maintaining the inventory level of medicines and surgical items in hospital warehouses and increase its impact in healthcare. One of the crucial points that should be noted in healthcare is that the medicines and surgical items should be made available at any point of time. The implementation of RFID technology in this area is to ensure patient safety and satisfaction by maintaining a perfect inventory of medicines and surgical items. Keywords- Enterprise management, SCOR model, RFID, healthcare, hospital.
