RFID Tags and Blood Transfusion Chain
RFID tags themselves are cheap. But infrastructure required for reading is expensive. ? any great advantages over traditional barcodes. Placement of tags on patients is an issue especially with large tags (medics remove them). Questions about the improvement in the management of the blood transfusion change.
Could be useful in tracking movement of samples through lab in initial modeling phase ? would need to do it all the time maybe just one or two for TAT monitoring etc.
