RFID Patient Tagging and Database System

Radio Frequency Identification is becoming ever more prevalent and ubiquitous in today’s world of "smart labels". This paper proposes the use of an RFID tagging system coupled with a web-based database to facilitate the centralization of patient records within the hospital environment. This paper will briefly introduce the technologies employed; before a new approach is proposed which merges RFID technologies with a web-based database system. The system will provide for standardized and centralized hospital records, with a strong emphasis on data security.
