Abstract
The RFID technology is a growing phenomenon among separate automated identification technologies. As a technology, it is used from the early 1940's, but just in the last decade, the IT (Information Technology) community and the healthcare sector have been taking more action on studying and developing the technology to correspond their requirements and needs. In this paper, we represent a short overview of the RFID technology in healthcare. We will focus on the technology itself, how it is used in different parts of healthcare and what kind of results have been found.
