Description
Summary:碩士 === 東海大學 === 資訊管理學系 === 101 ===   The rapid development of RFID technology has reduced the costs and widened the applications. RFID used to be utilized for package identification in logistics industry; however, it is now applied to medical industry for detecting patients’ temperature and situations and the elderly healthcare. RFID technology, as a primary technology in the development of modern information technology, presents the characteristics of high-speed dynamic reading, simultaneously reading of several RFID Tags, large data capacity, repeated reading, and environment resistance. This study therefore focuses on RFID positioning monitoring to discuss the applications to the management of the elderly nursing institutions. Traditionally, the elderly nursing institutions are generally managed by manpower that not finding the elderly accidents because of the neglect of the managerial personnel could miss the critical timing for the emergency rescue. By establishing the RFID positioning monitoring management system to replace traditional human operation, the system could save manpower, and the accessed data in the database could be the reference of risk evaluation and safety care.   The applications of RFID technology are overall evaluated, and the operation procedure and the data flow are integrated in this study. It tends to propose an efficient method for evaluating and including various dimensions and variables through interviews and technological analyses so as to successfully establish the RFID positioning monitoring management, enhance the management effectiveness of the elderly nursing institutions, and assist the managers of the elderly nursing institutions in achieving effective management. Aiming at the environment allocation of the elderly nursing institutions, active RFID Reader and active RFID Tag are used for immediately receive the physiological information of the elderly with wireless communication so as to help the managers enhance the management effectiveness.   Finally, this study aims to apply RFID to the elderly positioning monitoring management system to enhance the care quality and put the RFID Tag-embedded wristband on the elderly to instantaneously transmit the elderly temperature, location, and condition to the information system so that the nurses in the elderly nursing institutions could understand the elderly situations. Besides, it provides the nurses with the elderly monitoring conditions to avoid the risks of accidents and achieve the object of the elderly healthcare.
