Ottimizzazione della logistica in ambito sanitario attraverso l'uso di sistemi RFID

This thesis is framed in a project which aims to study innovative RFID-based management systems, to optimize logistics in a Italian Blood Transfusion Center. Methodology envisage the analysis of processes by using several analytical tools: reports, flow charts, activity forms, Idef0 language. A Clinical Risk analysis was carried out, in order to highlight criticalities related to efficiency and effectiveness (patient safety), and to quantitatively classify them. Particularly FMECA and CREA methods were adopted. The analysis was followed by a RFID-based process re-engineering. This step, which aimed at minimize the critical issues impact, led to the drafting of a innovative design models. Key performances Indicators (KPI) were then designed and calculated for the studied models, in order to make comparisons between them and to validate them. This methodology was adopted in two main steps, the first one in 2010 and the second one in 2013. In this thesis 2010 and 2013 analysis and synthesis are both described and compared, focusing on the 2013 project model. The thesis describes also experimental tests of UHF RFID systems, which are not considered as the standard RFID system in blood transfusion applications. The thesis also treats a critical feature of Sardinia Blood Transfusion Service: the optimization of logistic processes in the AOB Blood Transfusion Centre sub department which is dedicated to blood assignment for thalassemia patients
