MODELING AND ANALYSIS OF HEALTHCARE FACILITIES USING RFID DATA.

Radio frequency identification (RFID) technologies have been used for inventory management in supply chains and in tracking the movement of people in healthcare facilities. A large number of daily logs that are automatically collected and stored in the database requires effective methods for further analysis and use. In this study, we propose a procedure for obtaining important measures, such as daily walking (movement) distance and residence time spending per room for a particular medical staff in a hospital. Furthermore, we proposed a modeling approach for building system simulations using RFID-tracking data. The performance of our proposed model can be verified by comparing the simulation results with historical data analysis. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
