Decision Support with RFID for Health Care

The health care environment is rife with issues that are urgently in need of solutions that can readily be addressed using appropriate tools for decision support. Recent developments in RFID technology facilitate this process through continuous provision of instantaneous item-level information. We consider an existing decision support framework and instantiate this framework using an example from the health care domain using RFID-generated item-level information. We illustrate the process by developing a health care knowledge-based system and evaluate its performance.
