RFID Code of Conduct

"The use of RFID technology in the health-care arena holds enormous promise. It could lead to greater accuracy and efficiency in treating patients by making medical information immediately accessible to health-care providers. But privacy concerns present a significant obstacle to its widespread acceptance. Given the sensitivity of personal medical data, patient confidence in the integrity of RFID technology is essential. Until patients’ privacy concerns are allayed, the use of RFID in health care could be a difficult sell." Source: RFID Journal
