Abstract
Radio-Frequency Identification (RFID) technology, a method for storing and retrieving data through electromagnetic transmission to an RFID tag, is revolutionizing inventory and asset management in various sectors, including healthcare. This research explores the applications of RFID in a medical setting. It assesses various RFID readers and tags, focusing on their functional capabilities, ranges, and limitations within a medical environment. Employing a comprehensive approach, the study integrates an extensive literature review, comparative analysis, and empirical data from both experimental simulations and real-world healthcare scenarios. The aim is to identify RFID solutions that optimize surgical equipment management, thereby enhancing both operational efficiency and patient safety. This research is crucial for understanding how RFID technology can meet the unique challenges of healthcare settings, offering vital insights into its effective use in critical areas like surgical departments. The outcomes are expected to significantly contribute to the advancement of RFID applications in medical environments, prioritizing accuracy, inventory management, sterility, and patient care.
