AUTOMATED ASSOCIATION OF PATIENT CARE DEVICES

摘要

Techniques for associating assets of a medical care facility include receiving a first data flow that indicates a first unique identifier for a first radio frequency identification (RFID) tag and receiving a second data flow that indicates a second unique identifier for a second RFID tag. Also received is database data that associates the first unique identifier with a first asset and associates the second unique identifier with a different second asset. It is determined whether a position of the first RFID tag is within operative distance of a position of the second RFID tag based on the first data flow and the second data flow and the associated first asset and second asset. If it is determined that the position of the first RFID tag is within operative distance of the position of the second RFID tag, then the first asset is automatically associated with the second asset.
