A TEMPORARY STORAGE SYSTEMATIC MODEL FOR MEDICAL WASTE BASED ON RFID TECHNOLOGY

There are strict procedures and time requirements for the collection and disposal of medical waste. However, there is no guarantee that all medical waste can be transported to the disposal plants and be disposed of timely in practice. Thus, temporary storage centers become important bonds connecting the disposal plants and hospitals. Therefore, it is in urgent need to formulate a more efficient temporary storage model to cope with medical waste. Considering the problems existing in current temporary storage management of medical waste (TSMMW), this paper designs a temporary storage systematic model from the respects of classification, in-bound, operations management and out-bound based on RFID technology. Furthermore, this paper evaluates the economic and social benefits of the proposed model. The application of this model will not only correct the deficiencies of the current medical waste management system, improve the automation and intelligence of medical waste temporary storage management, but also help realize the safety management of medical waste.
