Validating RFID In A Clinical Environment: Part 1
11/25/2008
The project is not about a technology looking for a problem to solve, but rather involves the thorough evaluation of clinical challenges, allowing for solutions based on specific requirements and matching an array of technologies that can deliver high value. Once the initial study is completed, Shipcom, in collaboration with Keesler’s project team, will recommend four specific applications to be approved by Keesler’s executive committee. The goal is to select applications that provide the maximum evaluation across the enterprise. By John Shoemaker and Scott Cobb, Shipcom Wireless
