  1. Radio Frequency Identification in Healthcare: Infant SecurityBy: Jana Brannon, RNC-MNN

  2. Objectives • Understand the concept of radio frequency identification. • Understand required hardware • Understand required software • Describe usability • Describe information system

  3. Objectives • Describe the features of system • Understand system maintenance • Discuss advantages and disadvantages of system • Understand legal and ethical issues

  4. Objectives • Describe informatics compentencies • Understand the role and responsibilities of the nurse • Trend Summary

  5. What is Radio Frequency Identification (RFID)? • Real time “GPS” • 24/7 tracking of infant with assigned tag.

  6. Hardware • Monitor screen • Computer system, equipped with appropriate operating system. • Mouse • Speakers • RFID tags

  7. Hardware • Monitor screen • Full color • At least 17 “ • High resolution

  8. Hardware Umbilical Bracelet (Prosec- Protection Systems, 2008)

  9. Software • Windows operating system • MyChildTM Infant Protection Security program (Microsoft, 2001)

  10. Usability • Definition • Goals • Based of 3 Axioms (Staggers, 2003)

  11. Usability Axiom #1- Users must be an early and continuous focus during interface design. Axiom #2- Design process should be interative. This allows for correction of indentified problems. (Staggers, 2003)

  12. Usability • Axiom #3- Formal evaluation should take place, using rigorous experimental and/or qualitative methods. (Staggers, 2003)

  13. Information System • Consists of a functioning computer wired to two different “places” creating a secureenvironment. • Information Systems Department • Unit

  14. Features • Integrated application • Compact tags • User friendly (Prosec-Protection Systems, 2008)

  15. Maintenance • Tag sanitizing and battery care • Secured perimeter tested periodically • Maintenance of computer(s) that system is installed on (Prosec-Protection Systems, 2008)

  16. Advantages • Minimal computer knowledge required • Only few steps required for desired end result • Program is tailored to individual hospitals needs

  17. Disadvantages • Computer knowledge required • False alarms • Tag maintenance • Susceptibility

  18. Legal Issues • Functioning equipment • Competent staff (Prosec-Protection Systems, 2008)

  19. Informatics Competencies • Knowledge of: • Monitor • Keyboard • Mouse • Software operation

  20. The Nurses Role in “RFID” • Umbilical cord/skin management • Alarm Investigation • Knowledge of security software (Prosec-Protection Systems, 2008)

  21. Trend Summary MyChild/Prosec Infant Security system is a safe and effective way to ensure the safety of newborns, and requires minimal computer knowledge from those to operate it.
