RFID & RTLS in Healthcare: Part 1 - Who Uses RFID in Healthcare?

A common myth is that large hospitals are the only adopters of RFID and RTLS technology in healthcare.  

The reality?  RFID Asset Tracking is being widely used in a number of different healthcare segments other than hospitals. 


These include medical labs, emergency medical services, doctor’s offices and clinics, and even manufacturers of healthcare products, supplies and medications.
