Abstract
Today’s world is moving around different innovative technologies. One of the technologies which have evolved in the present scenario is Radio frequency identification (RFID) which has gained an enormous impetus in today’s age. It has been used extensively in the majority of the working sectors. Apart from other sectors in the country, the use of RFID in the healthcare sector has also increased widely. India is expanding its healthcare sector by introducing new and developing healthcare facilities, which can be a future gain. Nowadays, the healthcare industry has started using RFID based applications to keep records of inventory, instruments, supplies, demands, reduce errors during the treatment of patients, and so forth. The study investigates the adoption and implementation of RFID systems in the hospital environment. Also, this research work highlights the applications of RFID in the medical field and explores future research directions of RFID technologies in the healthcare system. The current study presents a literature review on RFID, for exploring different means of adoption, implementation as well as asset tracking in the medical field. This paper will guide researchers and practitioners to evaluate the impact of RFID technologies in healthcare supply chain management.Keywords- Research in Radio frequency identification (RFID), healthcare, supply chain management, medical field
