“…Typically, a reader communicates with a tag, which holds digital information in a microchip (RFID Journal 2002, Staples 2006). An RFID system in order to work needs to use a Middleware, a software that acts as an interface between the reader and the organizations' information systems , Su et al 2007. RFID for hospitals has risen to public attention especially for social concern about the privacy of the information tracked (Fishkin and Lundell 2005).…”

The continuous growth of health care services expenses urges U.S. government to take actions. The adoption of Information Technology, and especially RFID (Radio Frequency IDentification) allow hospitals to re-engineer their processes in order to reduce costs, maintaining the same level of service to the patients. Information technology represents a core element of the service itself; therefore a service design approach is believed to improve the adoption rate of RFID in hospitals. The main goal of the present study is to propose an RFID based service platform for hospitals, which is consistent with a service science driven design approach. A survey of 33 California based hospitals has been used to identify the user requirements of the hospitals. Later, a business process re-engineering for hospitals is proposed. Firstly the different actors involved in the health care services, along with their relationships in terms of information flows, are identified. This leads us to identify the various operations in a hospital setting that have a potential to be streamlined by introducing RFID technology. Having introduced these operations, we theorize a customizable RFID service, which can be implemented sequentially by each hospital according to its individual conditions such that it suits them most.

“…Communication in RFID occurs through radio waves, where information from a tag to a reader or vice versa is sent via an antenna. Unique identification is stored in RFID tags, which can consist of serial numbers, security codes, product codes, and other object specific data [4]. It is well known that RFID technology has many benefits over other identification technologies because it does not require line-of-sight alignment, multiple tags can be identified almost simultaneously, and the tags do not destroy the integrity or aesthetics of the original objects [3].…”

“…Note that the passive RFID powers up and exchanges commands/responses by gathering energy from RF transmitted from the reader antenna [4]. Due to the battery-less characteristics of the passive RFID, it has been considered to be widely used in various applications.…”

Certain applications of passive radio frequency identification (RFID), such as those in healthcare where the patient's name, identification or medical record must be stored, require data within a tag to be encrypted. Encrypted data within an RFID tag has the potential to affect the accuracy or time to read/write the data by the reader. The current research measures and analyzes the effects of encryption, distance of read and delay time between two read/write cycles on the accuracy of the read or write function in an RFID infrastructure. The research also measures and evaluates the time to read/write (R/W) data that is encrypted and compares this encrypted data with unencrypted data.The data encryption standard (DES) encryption method is used in this research due to the limitation of the tag. A multi-functional interface has been developed for the user to test the performance using a High Frequency RFID reader. The measurements were repeated 1000 times for each R/W test.The performance of R/W accuracy is not affected in any meaningful way by encryption even though there is an increase in memory requirement from 88 bytes to 128 bytes. The effect of R/W distance shows that the performance decreases with increase in the distance between the reader and the tag.By inserting a small amount of delay time between different cycles, we can get a significant increase up to 100% accuracy for read function. However, the write accuracy is not affected as significantly as the read accuracy.The effect of the encryption on the time to write the data on the tag shows that encrypted data group takes 70 ~ 120 milliseconds for the transmission more than the unencrypted data group.We conclude that while the encryption does not have a significant impact on the accuracy of R/W, the distance and cycle delay does. Also, the encrypted data takes longer to write to the tag.
