  • Abstract
    This workshop will address challenges faced by clinical engineering sectors and how Information Technology (IT) could be a great ally. A big tendency is the use of radio frequency identification technology in hospitals. How has the clinical engineering been preparing for it? Furthermore, how will the IT sector deal with this technology? The aim is to unite these two great players in a common goal, to increase hospital productivity and to ensure better services for the patients.
