Real-time location systems (RTLS) are an increasingly important strategiccapability for a variety of business applications. Radio FrequencyIdentification (RFID)-RTLS allows organizations to efficiently identify andtrack the location of supplies, personnel, equipment and other items inreal-time, as a cost-effective operational management tool.

The active RFID Technology panel on Wednesday, November 5th, hosted by Mr.Raghu Das, CEO of IDTechEx will include representatives from AwarepointCorporation, Time Domain Corporation, Sonitor Technologies, Aeroscout, Inc,Ubisense and The Q-Track Corporation.

In Jason Howe's session on Thursday, November 6th, participants will learnthe overall value proposition of active RFID-RTLS, and the 5 criticalsuccess factors for achieving optimum clinical and financial outcomes:coverage, accuracy, installation/maintenance, interoperability andfinancial risk. While RFID is still relatively new to healthcare, earlyinnovators such as UCSD and UCSF Medical Centers have demonstratedcompelling asset tracking management applications with strong Return onInvestment (ROI). Their case studies with ROI data will also be presented.

At the conclusion of these presentations or at the Awarepoint exhibitbooth, attendees can request a white paper titled, "Considering a Real-timeLocation System? First Consider the 5 Critical Success Factors."
