In the discussion for this week, we will focus on the use of radio- frequency implanted devices, known as RFIDs. This discussion will help you begin to think about the APA-formatted paper due this week on the topic of RFIDs and Smartcards.
Consider this scenario: The hospital administrators have chosen to include the smart card or implanted RFID in their plan for patient care delivery. However, your client base is resistant to the idea of using the smart card. In your discussion response, please address each of the following questions:
1. What are the pros and cons for using the smartcard or RFID?
2. How would you balance the concerns related to the cons, while trying to incorporate its use into the healthcare system?
3. Identify groups or individuals who could immediately benefit from the use of the technology, and why is that so?
