RFID technology promotes intelligent development in the medical field

With the rapid development of the Internet of Things, RFID technology is continuously used in various fields, especially in medical, industrial, political, economic, and cultural applications. It is undoubtedly the icing on the cake and prosperity.

The Internet of Things has broad application prospects in medical information management and other aspects. At present, Hospitals' needs for medical information management mainly focus on the following aspects: identity identification, sample identification, and medical record identification. Among them, identification mainly includes patient identification and doctor identification; sample identification includes drug identification, medical device identification, laboratory product identification, etc.; medical record identification includes disease condition identification, physical sign identification, etc.

Specific applications are divided into the following aspects:

1. Patient information management

The patient's family history, past medical history, various examinations, treatment records, drug allergies and other electronic health records can help doctors formulate treatment plans; doctors and nurses can monitor the patient's vital signs, treatment and chemotherapy in real time, Prevent the use of wrong medicines and wrong injections, and automatically remind nurses to carry out medicine distribution, inspections and other tasks.

2. Medical emergency management

In special situations such as when there are many injured people, family members cannot be contacted, or critically ill patients, the reliable and efficient information storage and inspection method of RFID technology can be used to quickly confirm the identity of the patient and determine his or her name, age, blood type, emergency contact number, Complete the admission registration procedures with relevant detailed information such as past medical history and family members, and gain valuable treatment time for emergency patients.

In particular, ambulances are equipped with 3G video equipment. When the patient is transported to the hospital, the emergency room can first understand the patient's physiological condition and strive for a golden rescue opportunity. If the location is remote, a remote medical imaging system can even be used for emergency rescue. .

3. Drug storage.

Apply RFID technology to the storage, use, and inspection processes of drugs to simplify manual and paper record processing, prevent stockouts and facilitate drug recalls, avoid confusion between similar drug names, dosages, and dosage forms, and strengthen drug management. Ensure timely and prepared supply of medicines.

4. Blood information management.

Applying RFID technology to blood management can effectively avoid the disadvantages of small barcode capacity, achieve non-contact identification, reduce blood contamination, achieve multi-target identification, and improve data collection efficiency.

5. Prevent errors in pharmaceutical preparations.

By adding an error prevention mechanism into the process of taking and dispensing medicine, it can be realized in the aspects of prescription issuance, dispensing, nursing administration, patient medication, drug efficacy tracking, drug inventory management, drug supplier purchase, storage period and storage environmental conditions. Information management of pharmaceutical preparations, confirming the type of preparations used by patients, recording the patient's usage flow, and saving batch numbers, etc., to avoid medication errors and ensure safe medication for patients.

6. Traceability of medical devices and drugs.

By accurately recording the identity of items and patients, including basic information about product use, specific product information involved in adverse events, areas where products with the same quality problem may occur, patients involved in the problem product, and the location of unused problem products, etc., Trace back defective products and related patients, control all unused medical devices and drugs, and provide strong support for incident handling.

7. Information sharing and interconnection.

Through the sharing and interconnection of medical information and records, a developed comprehensive medical network is integrated and formed. On the one hand, authorized doctors can review the patient's medical records, patient history, treatment measures and insurance details. Patients can also choose or change doctors and hospitals independently; on the other hand, it supports township and community hospitals to achieve seamless information integration with central hospitals, and can obtain expert advice, arrange referrals, and receive training in real time.

8. Newborn anti-theft system.

Combine the maternal and infant identification management, infant anti-theft management, and channel authority of the obstetrics and gynecology department or women's and children's hospital of a large general hospital to prevent outsiders from entering and exiting at will. In particular, after the baby is born, the baby must also wear an "RFID Wristband" that can mark the unique identity, so that the baby's information and the mother's information have a unique correspondence. To determine whether the baby is held in the wrong baby, just compare the mother's Just the baby's "RFID wristband" information is enough, which avoids the occurrence of the wrong baby.

9. Alarm system.

Through real-time monitoring and tracking of hospital medical equipment and patients, it can indicate that patients send emergency distress signals, prevent patients from running away without permission, prevent valuable devices from being damaged or stolen, and protect temperature-sensitive drugs and laboratory samples.

The implementation of RFID technology makes it easier for hospitals to manage materials. The hospital's material use and procurement processes have been further improved. It also prevents the use of expired materials and effectively curbs errors caused by human negligence. The efficient application of RFID technology in the medical industry promotes the development of the modern medical industry, while providing effective guarantees for the safety of use and having a profound impact on the harmonious development of society.
