Abstract

Medical records provide an important role in the process of providing health care in hospitals and in various types of medical institutions. Medical records play a vital role in maintaining the information of the entire patients which includes the basic information, medical information, history of operation and medication etc. These medical records have been produced for the purpose of identifying a patient. In this paper, a novel method for identification of patients using the Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology is proposed. This paper explains the concept of electronic medical record and explains how to use RFID based technology in order to create an electronic medical-card for patients. The proposed methodology also aims to identify patients quickly in the case of emergencies using the magnetic card reader device, which provides detailed medical information for the patient file. It also helps the doctors who are present in the ambulance of patient. The proposed methodology is importance in some emergency cases where patients cannot provide their information to the hospital because they didn’t know their identity and medical history.

Highlights

  • Information technology is the basis for providing the quality of service in hospitals

  • Identifying the medical history without contacting the patient provides high flexibility in many emergency cases so that it will be easier to provide the electronic medical record of the patients. This can be achieved by an Radio Frequency Identification (RFID)-RADIO based technology in which the patient can be identified by radio waves through the smart chip which is implanted in the patient's body by the Ministry of Health

  • As soon as the patient enters the hospital, the nurse uses an RFID reader for capturing the signals from the smart chip present in the patient's body via radio waves

INTRODUCTION

Information technology is the basis for providing the quality of service in hospitals. Identifying the medical history without contacting the patient provides high flexibility in many emergency cases so that it will be easier to provide the electronic medical record of the patients This can be achieved by an RFID-RADIO based technology in which the patient can be identified by radio waves through the smart chip which is implanted in the patient's body by the Ministry of Health. As soon as the patient enters the hospital (emergency department), the nurse uses an RFID reader for capturing the signals from the smart chip present in the patient's body via radio waves. The RFID reader captures digital signals from these smart chips by radio waves and stores the information on the computer which is connected to it.
