RFID in healthcare
Introduction
- Falling tag prices, EPCglobals standards initiative, numerous
healthcare-related deployments and FDA regulations on medication tracking
have brought RFID into the spotlight. However, challenges regarding solution
costs, IP rights and privacy issues make the future of RFID in healthcare
far from sealed.
Scope of this report
- This brief outlines the market drivers as well as barriers to mass-market
RFID adoption It gives examples of healthcare-specific RFID uses, current
initiatives and implementations
- It uncovers the RFID value chain and its players It gives Datamonitors
view on the technologys future and what important issues vendors need to
consider with regard to RFID
Research and analysis highlights
- The CIMITs ORF initiative, heavy-weight IT vendor presence through IBMs
and Microsofts involvement in RFID, as well as a positive outcome for the
medication tracking survey undertaken by Accenture, all bode well for the
future of RFID in healthcare.
- Despite RFIDs promise to reduce medical errors the cost of RFID tags must
come down and the technology must become further customized for healthcare
in order for RFID to become a widely-deployed solution among cash-strapped
US hospitals.
Key reasons to read this report
- Understand the particular application areas of RFID in the healthcare
provider sector
- Get the latest update on industry initiatives, implementations and
regulation
- Identify key players in the healthcare RFID value chain
ABOUT DATAMONITORMARKET CONTEXT
- Outline of the brief
- The state of play
- High price, fragmented value chain, proprietary standards
- Market about to solidify and standards development underway - although
patent issues are clouding the horizon
- Accenture study demonstrating RFID advantages in pharma
- FDA mandate to boost tagging solutions, but only for bar coding
- RFID as a supply-chain enabler for healthcare providers
- RFID uses in healthcare
- Healthcare RFID implementations and initiatives
- The RFID value chain
- Healthcare-specific RFID vendors
THE FUTURE DECODED
- Intermecs bid for royalties may have many negative repercussions
- The issue of privacy is overrated...
- ...but will gain more significance as patient and personnel tracking takes
off
- Storing vast amounts of data on already stretched clinical data
repositories creates needs for storage and data management
- Bar codes have not yet played out their role in healthcare
- It is key to focus on RFIDs unique capabilities in the provider arena as
well as to solve the technologys current shortcomings
