Mother-Infant RFID Identification System

For hospital labor and delivery departments to ensure patient safety, they rely on positive patient identification. Being able to verify that the right patient is receiving the right treatment, medication and/or breast milk for both mother and newborn are critical. Focusing on these important patient safety and other issues, many hospitals are now looking for a Mother-Infant Identification system.

ATSB, with its experience in patient tracking using Active RFID hospital wide, has another flagship product that allows for Mother-Infant identification using the tamper evident Active RFID wristband tag for location tracking and mother/infant matching authentication.

Tamper Evident Active RFID Infant Tag

 

With SmartSense Patient Tracking solution as the backbone, all patients including the mothers and infants at labor ward will be tagged with Active RFID Wristband Tag to track their real time location. 

Nurses Would Be Able to View the Tracking and Matching Screens at the Nursing Station

When an Infant is brought near to his/her Mother (<3 feet) and a positive match is established from the RFID System, a Green LED will flash on the Active RFID Mother Tag.If there is a mismatch, a Red LED will flash on Active RFID Mother Tag with an audible buzzer sound. 

Geo-fencing is applied to the required wards/zones where necessary. In the event of any unauthorized removal of any infants from the ward, an “alert” will be triggered and displayed on the ward dashboard. Nursing staff at the ward will then be required to take the necessary appropriate actions before turning off the alert. Alerts can also be sent to security personnel and other senior management personnel via SMS as an option.

Geofencing Would Ensure that No Infant is Moved Without Authorization
