Abstract

The quality of medical services that patients can receive in a certain hospital depends, to a large extent, on medical technologies available, more precisely on their performance and efficiency. In this context, equipping hospitals with equipment advanced technology can represent, among others, a relevant indicator in terms of the disease screening and prevention process. The primary techniques for automatically identifying medical devices in a hospital are the focus of this research work. The study examines the Barcode, RFID tags and Smart Card methods and the most efficient approach is chosen based on multicriteria analysis.
