Revision of “worst” slide- Slide 2

Radio frequency identification (RFID) is a technology that allows for the transfer of data using radio frequency electromagnetic fields.

Because RFID is a wireless network, tags that store electronic information are attached to objects.

Since RFID tags can be attached to clothing, possessions, or even implanted within people, the possibility of reading personally-linked information without consent has raised privacy concerns.

RFID has been compared to a similar system: barcode labeling. RFID tags contain at least two parts: an integrated circuit for storing and

processing information, and an antenna for receiving and transmitting the signal. The tag information is stored in a non-volatile memory.

An RFID reader transmits an encoded radio signal to interrogate the tag. RFID can be useful in a clinical setting by enhancing patient

identification, managing assets and equipment, securing newborns and reducing drug and blood administration errors.

Concerns with RFID usage in medicine are primarily aimed towards privacy rights, negative affects on other medical instruments and prices associated with RFID usage.
