The RFID project is focused on a multidisciplinary part of the healthcare system: the use of cytotoxic drugs with a risk of cancerogenity and mutagenity in a process of oncological patient healthcare. Implementation of RFID technology means higher safety of preparation and administration of chemotherapy with respect both to the patient and personnel. RFID technology enables multiple and retrospective control of the constitution of preparation. RFID technology implementation will result in minimization of the professional failure during preparation and administration of chemotherapy. Successful running of RFID technology demands the integration of the hospital information systems GreyFox and Medea Panakea via the enterprise service bus Sonic ESB.
