Give patients RFID tags to identify their medical records.

RFID wristbands/tags let staff and systems automatically identify and track patients (location, tests, meds, orders) as they move between departments, reduce identification errors, and integrate with the hospital’s EHR/workflow systems. (Implementation must address privacy, security, and integration.)
