RFID medical cabinet solution for intelligent management of high-value medical consumables

1. Industry background

Medical supplies management faces a series of problems, such as the surge in the types of high-value consumables, which leads to weakened access standards, difficult information tracking, unclear management responsibilities, etc. The internal equipment, finance and clinical departments of the Hospital are independent of each other, with poor compatibility, insufficient reserves of high-value consumables, and lack of a reasonable early warning mechanism, resulting in waste or redundant inventory. The specifications of high-value consumables are various, and warehouse inventory occupies a large amount of funds, and the safety monitoring of batches and expiration dates is also a challenge.

The internal equipment, finance and clinical departments of the hospital are independent of each other, with poor compatibility, insufficient reserves of high-value consumables, and lack of a reasonable early warning mechanism, resulting in waste or redundant inventory. The specifications of high-value consumables are various, and warehouse inventory occupies a large amount of funds, and the safety monitoring of batches and expiration dates is also a challenge. With the popularization of a well-off society in 2020, hospitals need to customize a rigorous management and control system to improve the efficiency of medical supplies management.

2. Hospital management needs

The intelligent management system for medical high-value consumables uses RFID radio frequency technology to intelligently manage the processes of ordering management, internal request and use tracking of high-value materials. Specifically, the system binds RFID electronic tags to high-value consumables when they enter the warehouse, records key information, and monitors the internal circulation process through radio frequency identification technology until they are used on patients, and implements medical material traceability externally, accelerating the pace of modern medical information management.

The system can also conduct a comprehensive analysis of the usage and annual usage trends of various types of high-value consumables, helping high-value material managers to determine the usage of consumables at each stage, so as to make orderly and rational orders. In addition, the system also integrates identity recognition and authentication modules and camera monitoring modules, and connects with the intelligent management platform to achieve supervision and tracking of high-value consumables, solving the problems existing in the existing high-value consumables management.

3. Solution

The high-value medical consumables management solution based on RFID technology can effectively solve the problems faced by medical material management, realize automatic, fast and accurate reading and tracking of consumables in high-value medical consumables cabinets, monitor the application, procurement, acceptance, collection, use and scrapping of consumables throughout the process, and integrate identity recognition and authentication modules and camera monitoring modules, and connect with the intelligent management platform to realize the supervision and tracking of high-value consumables and provide accurate data support.

RFID smart cabinet

Specifically, RFID consumables cabinets can Store large quantities of high-value medical consumables, and realize rapid inventory and automatic identification records. The cabinet design is flexible, and the main cabinet and auxiliary cabinet can be configured according to the needs. The slide rail drawer and the rack facilitate the access of consumables. Each layer is equipped with a grid information display screen, which displays the type and information of consumables in real time, which is convenient for nurses to take. The transparent window of the cabinet is convenient for observing the use of consumables. The main cabinet is equipped with identity authentication door opening and QR code scanning functions to achieve safe access and data reading.

In addition, the solution also provides an intelligent management platform for comprehensive analysis of the usage and annual usage trends of various types of high-value consumables, helping administrators to make orderly and rational orders. The platform also supports near-expiration warning, expiration interception and batch number tracking management, realizing the electronic traceability and management of consumables. The report query function can replace traditional manual records and realize the electronic management of information such as consumable supply, replenishment and loss.

By introducing RFID technology and intelligent management platform, the problems of independence and poor compatibility of internal equipment, finance and clinical departments in hospitals are effectively solved, and the efficiency and accuracy of medical material management are improved. The solution can be widely used in the management of high-value consumables in various specialties to realize the refined supply and modern management of consumables.

IV. Product functions

1. Fast scanning: RFID Readers can quickly scan RFID tags and automatically store and access relevant data.

2. Product applicability: RFID technology is not limited by product size and shape in reading, and can be applied to different products and consumables.

3. High accuracy: Each consumable is affixed with an RFID electronic tag with a unique identification code to avoid human operation errors.

4. Touch screen configuration: RFID is equipped with a high-definition touch screen for easy operation.

5. Backstage management: It has the function of opening all doors with one button in the background, which is convenient for administrators to use in emergency situations.

6. Real-time monitoring: It can monitor the use of RFID medical cabinets in real time, feedback and query the switch status of cabinet doors.

7. Multiple door opening methods: It supports various door opening methods, such as fingerprint, face, IC card, finger vein, etc.

8. Backstage recording and inquiry: The application, procurement, acceptance, collection, use and scrapping process of each consumable can be recorded and queried in the background.

9. Hierarchical management: RFID smart consumable cabinets can set hierarchical administrators, each with different management permissions, and the general manager can add and delete individual managers.

The system uses RFID technology to build a complete high-value medical consumables tracking and tracing system, realizing the full life cycle management of high-value medical consumables, including logistics management, financial management and statistical analysis of medical service information. Through RFID technology, the automatic storage and outbound storage of high-value consumables and the automatic and accurate association of intraoperative use of patients are realized, and the high-value consumables can be traced back to suppliers, manufacturers, surgeons and patients.

The system can also dynamically query the real-time inventory, accounting and payment status of high-value consumables, providing a data basis for statistical analysis, and implementing the tracking and supervision of the entire process of high-value consumables. Based on the experience of digital medical research, the system uses RFID radio frequency identification technology to quickly identify and collect data, which greatly increases the circulation and reliability of products, reduces the manpower and material costs of hospitals, and improves supply efficiency, which is of great significance to improving hospital efficiency.
