When any one of your costly items have a RFID-enabled asset tracking system tag attached, it can consistently deliver a return on investment (ROI). You can capture up to date accurate information when needed.

Many leading hospitals now recognize that closed-loop RFID can enable benefits such as out-of-stock reductions and can improve tracking within an existing Cath Lab infrastructure. Hospitals realize that they don’t have to wait in order to deploy within the Hospital. In a closed-loop deployment, the Hospital has control over all the inventory required in one area, such as Cath Lab to achieve ROI quickly.

RFID technology has also matured in the past few years. Passive RFID has improved leaps and bounds thanks to Gen 2 causing a higher demand for their use. Gen 2 tags can consistently and read assets reliably. Handhelds and portals performance are way beyond that of early passive technology.

In addition to better technology, the cost of RFID tags have came down significantly. Tag costs can add up when you are looking to track even the modest inventories of lower cost assets. But less expensive tags are making it more economically attractive for hospitals to tag all their assets.

By tracking what inventory is being used, where they are used, how they are used, and who is using them, hospitals get a better handle on capital allocations for the year.

Tagging will also add security for critical inventory. Every hospital is bound to have certain critical inventory, such as stents, that can go missing. RFID is proving a potent tool for recovering the misplaced inventory.

You can now track inventory and check for any product expirations within a close-loop system used right in your Cath Lab. Find out how to this indispensable tool.
