Set up RFID system to track patient samples
On the other hand, the Tin Shui Wai Hospital recently installed ten antenna devices in the operating room to enable the "Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) Clinical Sample Tracking System".
Lam Ka-man explained that the three hospitals in the New Territories Western Hospital Cluster need to handle nearly 20,000 surgical cases each year. On average, doctors and nurses need to process nearly 150 patient samples per week, including tissue sections, samples that need to be inoculated, etc. Some doctors and nurses have lost such samples in the early years. , Which has rarely occurred in recent years. It is very time-consuming due to repeated inspections and checks by medical staff.
After the new system is activated, the location of the sample can be traced as long as a label is attached to the sample, and the cost of each antenna device is 10,000 to 20,000 yuan.
If the trial is successful, labels may be attached to the operating room instruments, artificial joints, or even patients in the future, so that the system can be used to track down the "where".
In addition, Tin Shui Wai Hospital will use the Hospital Authority’s internal communication program "HA Chat" to notify doctors of the operation. As long as the anesthesiologist indicates in his system that the operating room is ready, the system will immediately notify all doctors in charge of the operation, avoiding The nurse called one by one to inform.
