A Pilot Project at a Memphis Trauma Center Uses RFID in a Search for Ways to Speed Treatment of Critically Injured Patients
Overview Memphis-based systems integrator American Project Services has teamed up with the University of Memphis's FedEx Center for Supply Chain Management and the Shelby County Regional Medical Center’s Trauma Emergency Department to deploy an RFID network so that the trauma center and others like it across the U.S. can improve patient care. The project’s first phase, which ended mid April, was to determine if the technology is reliable and can produce usable results. During a period of three months, RFID tags were attached to patients (the trauma center sees an average of 60 a day) as they entered the facility.
