Hospital Israelita Albert Einstein, a nonprofit hospital in Brazil, is using RFID technology to digitally manage thousands of items of bedding — from sheets to towels and patient pillowcases — while saving thousands of dollars.

With the application of RFID technology, each piece of bedding is uniquely identified, and data about its usage is collected and managed by the corresponding software platform in the hospital; When clean, laundered and pressed bedding is delivered to the hospital from an external laundry facility, they are used through an RFID portal reader that reads all incoming tags.

The solution enables healthcare providers to track bedding usage, cleaning and return to cabinets to ensure adequate inventory and efficient replenishment. What’s more, hospitals use this solution in a fraction of the time it takes to use a manual system, saving approximately $300,000 per year.
