  Before considering RFID, understand
  your process

 

 

 

 

 

June 2007
Feature Story

  • Map the current process and identify steps where autoidentification can assist.
  • Start measuring to determine where you are now and what you are trying to achieve—patient safety, operational efficiency, reduced capital expenses, reduced waste?
  • Assess whether bar codes can accomplish the same goal.
  • Consider interfaces to existing systems and applications—autoidentification much less useful if siloed from core operation.
  • Who will monitor the data and act on the data? Are the data actionable?
