Abstract

Radio frequency identification (RFID), also known as electronic label technology, is a non-contact automated identification technology that recognizes the target object and extracts relevant data and critical characteristics using radio frequency signals. Medical equipment information management is an important part of the construction of a modern hospital, as it is linked to the degree of diagnosis and care, as well as the hospital’s benefits and growth. The aim of this study is to create an integrated view of a theoretical framework to identify factors that influence RFID adoption in healthcare, as well as to conduct an empirical review of the impact of organizational, environmental, and individual factors on RFID adoption in the healthcare industry. In contrast to previous research, the current study focuses on individual factors as well as organizational and technological factors in order to better understand the phenomenon of RFID adoption in healthcare, which is characterized as a dynamic and challenging work environment. This research fills a gap in the current literature by describing how user factors can influence RFID adoption in healthcare and how such factors can lead to a deeper understanding of the advantages, uses, and impacts of RFID in healthcare. The proposed study has superior performance and effective results.

Highlights

  • Radio frequency identification (RFID) is one of the 16 core innovations for the decade, according to MIT [1], which ranks it as the tenth most groundbreaking technology in the last 25 years

  • The aim of this study is to develop a structure for RFID technology adoption in healthcare organizations by taking into account a variety of factors and dimensions, such as RFID adoption and implementation, as well as the benefits and challenges that may prevent healthcare organizations from reaping the benefits of such technology

  • Our integrated platform serves as a useful guide for hospital stakeholders interested in promoting RFID adoption and reaping the benefits of the technology

Summary

Introduction

RFID is one of the 16 core innovations for the decade, according to MIT [1], which ranks it as the tenth most groundbreaking technology in the last 25 years. Despite the fact that RFID was established in the early 1970s, it has recently piqued the interest of academics and practitioners Innovative technology, such as RFID, smart information systems, and networks, have been implemented into the healthcare sector to eliminate medical errors, minimize costs, improve. Insufficient and unreliable pharmaceutical inventory monitoring and operations, lack of patient identification, inability to accurately monitor patient locations, administration of incorrect medication to patients, and inability to track equipment are just a few of the problems facing healthcare organizations, according to recent studies [6,7]. This led many healthcare organizations to invest on IT and its applications with the hope of overcoming such challenges
