Healthcare

In the healthcare industry accuracy and efficiency are vital. Time pressures and staff stress can lead to medical errors and costly litigation. Errors can be fatal where mis-identification of patients, medication or samples occur. For example, with an RFID solution reliable identification of patients, their samples and their medication can prevent mistakes and increases patient care and safety. Increasingly hospitals require that healthworkers can access and record data securely via the use of Mobile devices leveraging off some of the existing security infrastructure that is already in place such as secure contact smart cards.  The potential to eliminate manual data entry has far reaching advantages in healthcare applications.  The increased efficiency, accuracy of data collections, the correct identification of people, medication and samples can, together, transform the efficiency of healthcare by the appropriate application of new technology.
