A large hospital is having a hard time keeping track of patients’ needs as they move among doctors, pharmacies, blood labs, and nursing stations. What is the best solution an IT professional could recommend to help?

RFID tags can identify patients and link them to the correct medical records as they move through the hospital. This helps staff access and coordinate patient information across doctors, pharmacies, labs, and nursing stations. Cell phones and smartphones may help people communicate, but they do not reliably identify the correct patient records at each point of care.
