Revolutionizing Hospital Linen Management with RFID Technology at Centro Hospitalar

Revolutionizing Hospital Linen Management with RFID Technology at Centro Hospitalar
September 27, 2024

In the northern region of Portugal, Centro Hospitalar has successfully optimized the management of hospital linens and uniforms through the implementation of RFID (Radio-Frequency Identification) technology. This innovative approach has not only significantly reduced laundry costs but has also led to a more than 50% decrease in new clothing purchases, bringing substantial economic benefits and sustainable advantages to the hospital.

 

Introducing RFID Technology for Enhanced Efficiency

 

Operating multiple primary healthcare facilities within the Portuguese National Health System, Centro Hospitalar faces various challenges in linen and uniform management, including poor inventory control, severe asset losses, and excessive ordering. To address these issues, the hospital decided to introduce RFID tags, readers and system for precise lifecycle management of textiles.

 

Significant Results and Benefits

 

By deploying the RFID system, Centro Hospitalar has achieved remarkable results. Laundry costs have decreased by 15%, with the weekly volume of processed textiles reduced from 18 tons to 16 tons. This improvement is attributed to precise control over the quantity of bedsheets used in each department and timely corrections of improper staff behaviors.

 

Furthermore, the purchase of new clothing has been reduced by over 50%. The RFID system has enabled the hospital to identify and rectify hoarding behaviors among staff members, such as an employee found hoarding 50 sets of uniforms. By preventing such occurrences, the hospital has significantly cut unnecessary uniform purchases, resulting in substantial cost savings annually.

 

These achievements not only deliver significant economic benefits to the hospital but also promote its sustainable development. By lowering laundry costs and purchase volumes, Centro Hospitalar has reduced operational expenses and enhanced resource utilization efficiency. Additionally, the reduction in excessive laundry requirements for water and detergents aligns with the hospital's environmental conservation principles.

 

UNIRfid, the professional manufacturer of rfid products and soluctions, which utilizes high-frequency RFID  tags, rfid cards and readers to provide each textile with a unique identity tag. From bedsheets and pillowcases to staff uniforms, every item is affixed with an RFID label and centrally managed.
