Medication errors pose significant risks to millions of patients every year, leading to substantial healthcare costs. According to the World Health Organization, the cost associated with medication errors has been estimated at USD 42 billion annually worldwide. In response to these challenges, healthcare organizations are turning to radio frequency identification (RFID) technologies to monitor and track medications within hospital settings.

Hospitals continually seek innovative solutions to streamline workflows, improve patient care, and reduce operational costs. One promising technology that has the potential to revolutionize medication management is Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tagging at the item level or unit-of-use level RFID tagging. By implementing RFID technology to track medications from manufacturer to patient administration, hospitals can unlock a myriad of benefits,

Ensuring patient safety and optimizing healthcare workflows are paramount. While high-performance RFID tags have garnered attention in hospital systems, it is essential not to overlook the equally important role played by high-performance RFID readers and antennas. This is especially crucial in areas such as crash kits, operating room trays, auxiliary, and anesthesia stations, where hundreds of RFID-tagged medications may be
