- Abstract
- We propose an approach to provide the healthcare services using RFID technology in the Korean market. The proposed healthcare services are served smoothly from registration to examination, treatment, prescription, and next reservation. Necessary information is provided to patients and hospital staffs anytime and anywhere by recording and processing medical data produced in each step. To provide successfully the services, the system configuration, the provision method, the value chain, the roles and benefits of each player in a value chain are stated. The survey results show that the proposed services are mostly important, quite a few respondents have the intention of use and the effects of services are mostly high. We have an option that it is desirable for hospital complex to become initial target market of the services. However, much more still remains to be solved technologically, economically and socially.
