There's been a lot of coverage on wireless lately with the Department of Defense, but other areas of the military are also working with wireless carriers to improve their RFID technology as well....BD
Air Force medical centers are taking steps to expand their use of radio frequency identification systems. The medical centers plan to expand their RFID-based asset tracking applications to include tracking of lab specimens, medications and possibly patients.
The Air Force Surgeon General's Office has selected Shipcom Wireless to review the use of RFID systems at the medical centers. It also will test new applications at Kessler Air Force Base in Biloxi, Mississippi.
The Houston-based vendor of RFID tracking systems will use its Hospital Operational and Clinical Assessment model to offer a baseline assessment of RFID implementations at the Air Force medical centers. Then it will issue recommendations on how the Air Force can most effectively use RFID and related technologies to improve patient care and make clinical processes more efficient.
