Abstract :
RFID is a technology have been adopted in many business fields, especially in medical field. This work has the objective to present a system for automation of a hospital clinical analysis laboratory. This system initially uses contactless smart cards to store patientpsilas data and for authentication of hospital employees in the system. The proposed system also uses RFID tags stuck in each patientpsilas collected samples container for correct identification of the patient who gave away the samples. This work depicts a hospital laboratory workflow, presents the system modeling and deals with security matters related to information stored in the smart cards.
