The growing use of radio frequency identification (RFID) systems in healthcare settings requires attention to the possibility of adverse electromagnetic (EM) environmental effects with medical devices that are likely to be found there. Adverse electromagnetic environmental effects include the undesired responses of the medical devices to the environments in which they must function. Due to recent conflicting reports, the potential for compromise of medical device performance by RFID / RTLS is being questioned and there has been a call for specific EM interference (EMI) test protocols to be developed. RFID vendors, medical device manufacturers, and laboratories need to work together to define a testing strategy that is appropriate, thorough, and defined in a verifiable, repeatable manner. EMI is a very timely topic at many healthcare facilities as well as at the FDA and the FCC.
- Understand what affects electromagnetic environments may have on implantable medical devices
- Learn the role of RFID & RTLS technologies as it pertains to the relationship between healthcare environments and patients with medical devices
- Educate yourself on the differences of RFID & RTLS technologies and the subsequent outcomes each may have throughout the varied healthcare settings and applications before you embark on an RFID & RTLS project
- Understand some of the basic science behind what may cause EMI issues as it pertains to RFID & RTLS and medical devices for patients at your healthcare facility

This session will put the technical side of RFID & RTLS technology in perspective with the business case for exploring the implementation of these technologies in the departments within the health care system with a well defined ROI. Learn how to leverage the technology to resolve problems in LOW hanging fruit areas of the hospital. The session will highlight quick use cases of these technologies in all areas of the hospital from the food service to the warehouse and everything in between.
- Learn why these technologies should be implemented at your facility
- Explore a holistic approach to these technologies
- Find ROI in all areas of the hospital
- How to get the administration and other stake holders to buy in and support your project
