The Healthcare RFID Market is Expected to Continue Growing due to New Tagging of Drugs for Anti-Counterfeiting.

DUBLIN, Ireland -- Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c37264) has announced the addition of RFID in Healthcare 2006-2016 to their offering. E[acute accent]The RFID business is growing so fast that few applicational sectors within it can grow faster. However, Healthcare RFID is doing just that - a 23 fold growth to $2.1 billion in 2016 - primarily thanks to the new tagging of drugs for anti-counterfeiting and real time location of staff, patients and assets for safety, security and cost control. Other developments include automated error reduction. For example, RFID enabled compliance monitoring blisterpacks are newly popular. Error preventing RFID is increasingly used in instruments and equipment. This unique 249 page report gives a full technical and market analysis illustrated by 70 case studies of RFID in action in hospitals, care homes and in the home. It is a vital resource for the healthcare profession and all who wish to support it. E[acute accent]This report has been globally researched by technical specialists and launched in 2006. Its segmented forecasts up to 2016 are based on hundreds of case studies, dozens of interviews and attending numerous conferences on four continents. E[acute accent]Healthcare RFID will grow from 3% to 8% of the total RFID market and its needs will be met by prosperous suppliers skilled in the necessary requirements. E[acute accent]70 important case studies and 24 supplier product profiles are included in the report. E[acute accent]Countries and regions covered include Taiwan, Japan Korea, Singapore, India, Australia, UK, Germany, Ireland, Italy, France, Israel and the USA. E[acute accent]The technology is fully explained - RFID in general and the eight technologies useful to Healthcare Real Time Locating Systems (RTLS). We explain what is driving item level drug tagging, RTLS, theft and error prevention, patient compliance monitoring, automatic procedure recording, secure access and the management of blood, supplies and equipment with RFID. Smart shelves, smart cabinets, talking drugs, perfection of supply chains, temperature recording RFID labels are covered. We predict what comes next. E[acute accent]This in-depth study contains over 245 pages, 45 detailed tables, 90 figures, and 70 case studies which provide strategic forecasts, technology, and company profiles.
