First Use of RFID in a German Hospital

On 19 April, the Klinikum Saarbrücken launched a pilot project for patient identification based on RFID (Radio Frequency Identification). The project, which covers some 1,000 patients and is being run in collaboration with technology partners Siemens Business Services, Intel and Fujitsu Siemens Computers, aims to provide easier access to patient data. At the same time, deployment of the latest IT and RFID technology is expected to help improve safety in drug dosage and administration. Source: Noticias.info
