Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) involving asset, staff and patient tracking, provides a real time location of important assets and people. An asset is only an asset to staff and management when it can be found and when it is needed, whether that be for its intended use or to be serviced or replaced.

Great efficiencies can be realised by reducing search times, need for hiring of equipment and the ability to have equipment utilised for patients in a timely manner. While the use of RFID to track patients and staff is controversial, the benefits can be realised in increased patient safety and the ability to monitor patient / staff contact. An RFID module is seamlessly integrated into the eBeds® bed management software.
