A system and a method for applying RFID (Radio Frequency Identification)
and PKI (Public Key Infrastructure) technologies for patient health
safety to install RFID tag and RFID reader on the medicine-storing
appliance. By sensing the RFID tag on medicine, the RFID reader stores
the medical records such as medicine usage and movement, and transmit to
central database. In this way, the circulation of medicine could be
controlled, the improper use and distribution of medicines could be
avoided, the medical resource management could be improved, and it could
ensure that the correct medicine to enhance the process of five rights
(right time, right route, right dose, right patient and right drug) and
improve the quality of patient safety.
