By IndustryBeyond the Barcode: A Guide to Implementing RFID for Hospital Asset Tracking and Patient SafetyHospitals lose critical equipment daily. Infusion pumps, wheelchairs, and diagnostic tools vanish into storage rooms, hallways, and other departments. Staff spend hours searching instead of treating patients. Traditional barcode systems require manual scanning and line-of-sight visibility, leaving gaps in asset location data. Inventory accuracy often hovers around 65% according to [rfidlabel.com](https://www.rfidlabel.com/the-end-of-lost-equipment-latest-news-on-rfid-for-real-time-hospital-asset-visibility/).11 min read
