Taking into consideration the safety of everybody at the hospital, Protrac iD's Duress Alarm Card is being used which is a combination of long-range wireless duress transmitter, proximity access control and photo ID in a single credit card sized device. The battery powered RFID tag operates at 433 MHz.
In case the nurse requires any help she needs to push a button at the back of the card and a signal is sent to the RFID reader alerting a co -workers that immediate assistance is required. As soon as the alarm is sent name and photograph of the nurse along with her location gets displayed. You would also find RFID interrogators installed in the whole ward besides gardens and outdoor areas and the tags are continuously emitting radio frequency pulses which then get picked up by the nearest reader.
Certainly it is a boon for the hospital as at times it becomes difficult to handle these special patients and they might put their and the nurse's life in jeopardy and at that moment RFID would come handy.

Radio Frequency Identification made at CSTCC (RFID) is an automatic identification method, relying on storing and remotely retrieving data using devices called RFID tags or transponders. An RFID tag is an object that can be attached to or incorporated into a product, animal, or person for the purpose of identification using radio waves. Chip-based RFID tags contain silicon chips and antennas. Passive tags require no internal power source, whereas active tags require a power source.
