RFID's implementation is growing in popularity today. It has proved highly successful in various sectors like manufacturing, retail, and logistics. Although it is not new technology, the technology has advanced significantly. Nowadays, RFID is a powerful technology that can be used for collecting data, tracking locations, and the movement of equipment and equipment.
It also is used in other areas like the management of supply chains, control over inventory, and electronic passports. Additionally, it is used by authorities to track prisoners, as well as to keep track of their animals.

RFID technology in the healthcare industry can be used for many objectives.

Benefits of RFID Technology in Health Care

1. 
   Patient Tracking and History Records

An RFID band is wrapped on the wrists of the patient. By using RFID, the hospital can keep the track of the patient. The wristband is able to carry all relevant information like name, medical history as well as allergies, and other information.

If a patient has been hospitalized for a long time, RFID can help the doctor determine whether the patient is allergic to any medication. The history of the patient is also helpful during surgery as it provides crucial details.

RFID tags are extremely useful, e.g. in the case of a patient with memory issues, they might wander off or become lost within a hospital. With RFID Wristbands, hospitals will know the precise location of the individual.

2. 
   Equipment Tracking
   
   Equipment, machines, and tracking of vehicles are important for hospitals. They are not just aware of where they have their equipment, vehicles, and other equipment. but also allows maintenance of their assets.
   Assets in hospitals are vital and must be available for use. RFID tags can be utilized to monitor assets in the event that they travel within or out of the hospital's premises.

In the case of Operation Theatres, it is required that inspection of the assets is conducted regularly to ensure that any unplanned breakdowns can be prevented. This Asset Maintenance Management software provides an excellent aid in managing vital assets.

3. 
   Medicine & Pharmaceutical Tracking
   
   Asset management software and tracking are able to manage the supply of hospital pharmacies. The software will inform you of the date that medicines expire and the level of stock. In general, the program lets you keep track of the present stock of medicines.

Because medicines and pharmaceuticals are among the most used and essential items found in hospitals every hospital must keep a stock of medicines that are essential. Beyond that, the hospital should also be equipped with medicines and other products that are degradable employed in surgery, such as gloves, masks, syringes, and so on.

The surgical and medical equipment is costly items. It is essential for medical facilities to maintain stock and keep keeping track of these products. The expense is massive and can't be secured without tracking.

The software provides real-time tracking. This means that the inventory is constantly updated to ensure that you have accurate numbers of inventory. The system can track inventory orders and set up automatic replenishments when stock levels fall below the threshold. If items do not make it to their final destination, the system triggers alerts to users.

Although RFID provides numerous benefits to hospitals, the implementation of RFID advancements has not been as impressive as it was initially thought and is still lagging when measured against various sectors.
