The end result: Pharmaceutical companies can locate and track each dose of medication produced in vast batches. Hospitals can monitor and utilize equipment with greater efficiency, and healthcare staff can more efficiently create and maintain healthcare records. And, most important, patients can get treated without having to worry about the medical errors that could lead to highly undesirable outcomes.
