RFID Smart Shelf System Pilot Program

3M completes implementation of RFID Smart Shelf System for management of medical files for U.S. Army personnel and their family members at Fort Hood, Texas. The contract is for three-years at a value of $3.76-million for training and maintenance services. Fort Hood, near Austin Texas, is the country's largest active-duty domestic armed forces facility. ...

... "The custom-designed 3M RFID Smart Shelf System is the centerpiece of a pilot program that may be extended to other military installations after a period of evaluation. The system is intended to substantially reduce errors and inefficiencies associated with manual tracking, retrieval, filing and file merging methods of medical records management at Fort Hood, where thousands of files may be in use at the base's six clinics during any given month. In turn, such improvement would make a positive impact on operational efficiencies in health care delivery, the troop deployment process, and the management of medical data collection. One of the top priorities of the system is to provide virtually instant accessibility to complete medical records for soldiers and their family members requiring intensive and complex healthcare services.
