With the ever-growing concern over patient safety, illegal trafficking of prescription drugs, and the financial burden of expensive equipment, RFID technology offers the health care industry a secure tracking alternative. Capitalizing on IDBlueTM’s mobile nature, medical personnel can safely monitor patients, medication and equipment in real time while eliminating the concern of counterfeit prescription drugs.
Using near-proximity RFID tags embedded in patient identification wrist bands, on medication, and on medical equipment, IDBlueTM’s mobile and compact nature make it a great solution framework for the following health care concerns:
- Patient safety
- Anti-counterfeiting
- Asset management
IDBlueTM is capable of forming the core of a patient safety system aimed at identification, administering medication, samples, lab results, medical records, etc. Using RFID tags, IDBlueTM offers a more secure, long lasting choice compared to more traditional identification wrist bands. Health care professionals need not worry about them falling off, fading or smudging, even after lengthy admissions or repeated washings and treatments. Nor do health care professionals need to worry about administering erroneous blood types and/or medication.
IDBlueTM's portability and pen-style shape optimize the use of expensive medical equipment by equipping mobile medical professionals with a more productive RFID tool.
In addition, patients’ whereabouts can be monitored to ensure their health safety. Furthermore, IDBlueTM reduces the risk of misidentifying patients and illicit access to patient records.
