RFID technology is huge for hospitals and can really help with devices, supplies, even wheelchairs from leaving the premises and help locate urgently needed devices and supplies as needed.  BD

AT&T Inc. has developed a comprehensive portfolio of products and services designed specifically to help health care providers increase productivity, improve patient care and reduce overall health costs. San Antonio-based AT&T (NYSE: T) is offering heath companies a radio frequency identification (RFID) system that will allow them to track equipment, devices and patients.

AT&T officials say with the introduction of the system, the company has become the first network service provider to offer RFID for health care organizations. AT&T will install Wi-Fi networks and related equipment in hospitals. The company will also supply the RFID tags and software. The RFID system works with a local wireless network. Through this system, hospital staff members can track via a Web browser the locations of products, such as blood pressure monitoring devices, EKG machines, gurneys, infusion pumps, crash carts, wheelchairs, computers and laptops.
