Jan 23, 2013Equipment and supplies that are not readily available when required for patient care can compromise safety and impact staff productivity. By appropriately tracking the location, availability and usage of equipment or high-cost, low-turnover supplies, an investment in RFID has the potential to save money, minimize waste and improve employee efficiency.
