Abstract

RFID is estimated to have great potential for hospitals to reduce various costs, reconsider patients' safety, and provide high quality medical service. As the ubiquitous technology allows the medical market to expand, medical centers all around the country are fiercely competing against one another. In order to increase the hospital's competitive edge by reducing IT expenses and concentrating on medical practice, the need to establish a u-Hospital using advanced IT technology is rapidly rising. This paper implements an RFID based u-Hospital system by using ubiquitous computing technology to design a location tracking device for all surgical patients, which can secure the patients' safety and increase the quality of medical service through interlocking hospital information systems.

RFID는 병원에서 많은 비용을 절감하고 환자의 안전을 재고하여 양질의 의료 서비스를 제공케 하는데 큰 잠재력을 가지고 있는 것으로 평가받고 있다. 유비쿼터스 기술이 의료시장 개방의 환경 속에서 국내 의료기관들은 치열한 서비스 경쟁을 펼치고 있고, IT 비용을 절감하여 의료 활동에 역량을 집중하고자 병원만의 경쟁력을 드높일 수단으로 첨단 IT 기술을 활용한 u-Hospital 구축의 필요성이 대두되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 유비쿼터스 컴퓨팅 기술을 활용하여 수술환자의 위치 추적 시스템을 설계하여, 환자의 안전성 확보 및 의료 서비스의 질을 높이는 서비스를 제공할 수 있는 병원정보시스템 연동을 통한 RFID 기반의 u-Hospital 시스템을 설계하는 것을 목표로 한다.
