Reading Hospital is capturing the status of the COVID-19 vaccines it stores and injects into patients’ arms, leveraging its use of an existing UHF RFID solution. The system, deployed in 2019, provides two clinical applications: the tracking and management of goods on crash cart trays and in emergency kits, as well as kit and crash cart tray inventory management. Learn how the system tracks the status of every vial that is removed from an ultra-freezer and subsequently placed in refrigeration, transported to the vaccination clinic to be administered, and sometimes returned to refrigeration, all while ensuring no vial expires before reaching a patient’s arm.
