Improve Safety and Lower Costs With Auto-ID
Overview Auto-ID technology is often trumpeted as a boon for companies that have large merchandise inventories to manage and track. This claim is certainly true, as far as it goes - but it doesn't go far enough. Short for Automatic Identification, Auto-ID is all about visibility. As the next evolution of bar coding, the technology allows businesses to quickly and accurately discover the location, identity, and other critical data associated with any object, person, or place equipped with a Radio Frequency ID (RFID) tag. With respect to healthcare, Auto-ID is being universally heralded as a sure way to improve patient safety and care by enabling automatic data collection and secure access to information.
