Executive Summary

Hospitals have always had certain needs which must be met in order to properly treat their patients. Patient medical information needs to be maintained in a way that is secure yet provides an efficient means of access and updating. Patient identification and location within the hospital must be known at all times, for reasons involving safety and practicality of treatment. In many cases, vital signs must
Pulse monitoring allows hospital staff to be aware of one parameter of the patient’s general condition, and, along with the RFID monitoring, can quickly move to the patient’s location and treat the patient when abnormalities in pulse are detected.

An array of useful functions in one easy-to-use, affordable system is what makes the RPM such an attractive product, especially to larger hospitals. More capabilities and easier patient identification and database access as compared to similar products, at a price at or below the competition, will give the RPM a clear market advantage. Hospitals will want to incorporate this latest development in patient care to provide the ultimate in patient care.

The system will prove greatly beneficial to the hospital as it aims to reduce patient casualties by monitoring the patient location, temperature and pulse reading at all time, alert staffs if patient is at risk (falling down), eliminate human error and improve data accuracy, gain more control over the patient most recent state, increase speed and labor utilization, as well as to provide instant record and other types of relevant reports. The working title for this project is the RFID Patient Monitor
