Abstract

Hospital Inpatient Tracking System using RFID technology is a web application developed for the medical personnel (doctors and nurses) to track the movements of the inpatients in the accident and emergency department of government hospitals. RFID reader fixed in each of the rooms will detect the patient who is wearing the registered tag when enter and leave from the room. It is designed to solve the problems of long queues, overcrowding, delayed treatments, and insufficient beds for patients. Tracking process is taken to track all of the registered patient. At the same time, duration of patient process in each of the room will be recorded and calculated to get the range of processing time in each of the room. It can be used as reference and solving the bottlenecks that faced by hospitals. All the medical personnel need to register and approved by system administrator before accessible to the system.
