RFID Tracks One Million Health-Care Assets in United Arab Emirates

The United Arab Emirates (UAE) Ministry of Health (MOH) is deploying one million RFID tags across 147 facilities, in one of the Middle East's largest RFID deployments to date. The system, provided by OgTech Technology Solutions, involves managing the locations of health-care, IT and mechanical assets throughout the ministry's hospitals, health centers, clinics and administrative buildings across the UAE. With the technology in place, hospitals and clinics have reported that they are conducting faster and more frequent audits of their assets, while nurses and health-care providers can locate the tools they need for patient care, and maintenance personnel can quickly identify any equipment that requires maintenance, cleaning or service.
