As part of a reseller agreement inked between the two companies, Hewlett-Packard will exclusively offer Precision Dynamics’ radio frequency identification (RFID) Wristbands as part of its healthcare IT offering to hospitals in Taiwan.
The RFID technology will initially be targeted for use in operating rooms of hospitals that are ready to implement the technology to help prevent medical errors.
The first implementation to transpire from the reseller agreement is at the country’s Keelung Chang Gung Memorial Hospital, where it is being used in the operating room to identify the patient, surgical site, nurse, blood and doctor. This additional safety check is expected to help reduce human errors and enhance the safety of patients.
