Wuhan "Fangcai Hospital" uses RFID and other Internet of Things technologies to achieve orderly management of personnel and materials

Currently, Wuhan has established 13 “cabin hospitals” to receive patients. So, what is the reason for the large hospitals to manage personnel and materials in an orderly way? The answer is: the Internet of Things.

At present, Wuhan has established 13 “cabin hospitals”, which are located in: Han International Convention and Exhibition Center, Wuhan Living Room, Hongshan Stadium, Wuhan National Fitness Center in Jiang'an District, Wuhan Stadium in Tongkou District, Shipailing Senior Vocational Middle School in Hongshan District, and Hanyang. Wuhan International Expo Center, Dahuashan Outdoor Sports Center in Jiangxia District, Huanghua No. 1 Middle School Stadium in Huanghua District, Optics Valley Science and Technology Exhibition Center in East Lake High-tech Zone, Wuhan Sports Center in Wuhan Economic and Technological Development Zone

其中,中国光学谷Rihaifangfang Hospital covers an area of 283.3 acres, with a total area of about 54,000 square meters. It is transformed from the company's factory buildings and employee dormitories, and can provide 3,690 isolation beds. It is the "square cabin hospital" with the largest number of beds. The square cabin hospital covers a large area, with countless medical care, patients, medical equipment and protective supplies.

Wuhan Fangcai Hospital has a large site and a large number of patients. In order to realize the real-time positioning and dynamic management of personnel and materials in the hospital, and greatly improve the management efficiency of the Fangcai hospital, the National Special Integrated Circuit System Engineering Technology Research Center has developed a set of Low-power IoT positioning products.

The Internet of Things is to use RFID, infrared sensors, global positioning systems, laser scanners and other information sensing equipment to connect any item with the Internet in accordance with the agreed protocol for information exchange and communication to realize the intelligentization of items. A network of identification, location, tracking, monitoring and management.

Medical staff and patients wear positioning tags; positioning tags are installed on medical equipment, and positioning data is transmitted to the cloud platform through the IoT gateway. The system can monitor the real-time position and movement trajectory of patients in the hospital within the active area, and provide information services such as cross-border alarms. When the patient in the hospital encounters an emergency, one-touch call can be realized through the positioning tag worn. The system can realize the real-time statistics of the number and area distribution of various types of personnel in the opposite cabin hospital and the visiting area and time management of the hospital inspection staff. At the same time, asset tracking and management can be performed on medical equipment installed with positioning tags in the hospital.

The Internet of Things can use sensing equipment such as radio frequency identification, two-dimensional code, and smart sensors to obtain various types of information about objects. Through the integration of the Internet and wireless networks, information of objects can be transmitted in real time and accurately for information exchange and sharing. Various intelligent technologies can be used to analyze and process the data and information sent to realize the intelligence of monitoring and control. According to the above characteristics of the Internet of Things, combined with the point of view of information science, around the flow of information, the functions of the Internet of Things can be summarized.
