RFID to enhance patient experience
at Disney Cancer Center
full article
When the Disney Family Cancer Center opens in California this February, doctors hope that patients benefit from the extremely high level of care that is typical of the Disney name. And since the hospital is a short distance from Disney studios, it makes sense that the Center will focus on the body, mind and spirit of its patients.
The $36 million facility will rely on RFID and real-time location systems (RTLS) to achieve many of its patient treatment goals. Those arriving for treatment at the facility will receive passive RFID-enabled name badges to notify hospital staff of their arrival. Aside from helping with patient tracking in the four-story facility, the badges from ThingMagic will help the hospital to immediately customize patient treatment rooms.
RFID will help hospital staff to assure that ambiances like room temperature, lighting, and music selections are in place when patients arrive.
“The Disney name connotes a high level of care and service that people expect,” says Raymond Lowe, director of ministry support and IS operations for Providence Health Care Systems, which operates 29 hospitals. “We’re looking to provide a Disney-like experience for some of the sickest patients out there.”
