A step in the right direction
 

To whom it may concern,

The introduction of new technology into medicine and health care is something I view as a positive. The use of RFID technology to improve the accuracy and mitigate medical errors is a positive step that must be taken. RFID technology is a proven technology to help hospital and emergency medical services to provide better care for patients and the saving lives is the ultimate goal of healthcare.

Additionally, the medical carousal seems to be another positive step in the right direction when it comes to ensuring the proper drugs are in stock and being used. The verification check with the use of barcodes will make the process more efficient and overall better.

This regulation should be passed and put into place.

Thank you,

Ryan
