RFID in Radio Therapy

Asset Identification in the Radio Therapy department, making the radio therapy more secure for patients, reducing patient time.

The Problem in Healthcare Provision

In the process of the specialist issuing an instruction to the healthcare provider:

  • Healthcare provider searches for the equipment
  • Healthcare provider requests or checks with clinical technicians
  • Physically searches for the equipment

Care giving time reduced from target 65% to real time spent 37%.

  • Supply chain issues rental or procurement order

1,000 + Unnecessary purchase orders generated yearly, creating additional workload for admin and finance.

This has led to a 62% increase of bedside equipment in 20 years.

The Business Challenge

  • Medical equipment rental and operation costs
  • Equipment in service / just in time orientation
  • Broken / non-functional equipment
  • Reducing the administrative tasks per shift
