Figure 1. A simple RFID system in healthcare. Figure 1 describes a simple case of an RFID system in healthcare. A nurse is using a laptop with an RFID reader and a data system for data processing. With the system, the nurse identifies a patient who is carrying an RFID tag. The tag contains an individual identifier which is read by the RFID reader. The reader sends the data of the individual identifier for the data system. The data system can be con- nected, for example to a database where the corresponding information to the individual identifier is stored. The data system can also be connected to a host/server, the Internet or another information system. Finally, the information is returned to the data system and for the nurse.
