  1. VERICHIP RFID BY AMBER JURNAK, RN

  2. Objectives • Describe the VeriChip RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) • Describe and evaluate the hardware and software utilized with VeriChip • Evaluation of the usability of the software evaluation • Describe and evaluate the information system used with VeriChip

  3. Objectives • List advantages of the VeriChip • List disadvantages of the VeriChip • Describe legal and ethical issues involved • Describe the informatics competencies • Describe the functions and responsibilities • Summarize the VeriChip

  4. VeriChip RFID • Only FDA approved implantable device • 16 digit unique identification number • Holds important patient information

  5. VeriChip RFID • Microsoft- in charge of HealthVault platform. • HealthVault- where consumers are in charge. • Customize with over 40 applications & devices. • After first year, under $10.00/month (Bacheldor, 2008)

  6. VeriChip RFDI Hardware • Reader (interrogator) • RFDI tag (transponder) • Antenna • Chip (microprocessor)

  7. VeriChip RFDI Hardware • Tag • Transponder • Microprocessor (Swedberg, 2008)

  8. VeriChip RFDI Software • Provided by Microsoft HealthVault • Health Solutions • Health Tools • Devices

  9. VeriChip RFDI Software • Health Tools

  10. Usability of VeriChip • Early & continuous focus during interface design • Design process should be iterative • Formal evaluation should take place

  11. Information System for VeriChip • Electronic health record system (EHR) (MITRE, 2006)

  12. EHR System Review • Type of system & who uses it • Functions & configurations • Data standards • Disease & procedure classification system • Nursing practice standards • Recommendations

  13. Advantages • Patient safety • Patient tracking • Automated registration (Halamka, Juels, Stubblefield & Westhues, 2006)

  14. Disadvantages • Privacy issues • Health risks • Costs

  15. Ethical and Legal issues • Ethical issues • Privacy issues • Legal issues • Health risks

  16. Informatics Competencies • Computer and program knowledge

  17. Functions and Responsibilities • Analyze and evaluate • Communicate

  18. Summary of the VeriChip • Great for mentally impaired patient’s
