The director of IT in your multi-site health organization has come to you as CEO imploring you to back his desire to “revolutionize” resource and patient tracking, thereby reducing the possibility of error and associated legal liability. He wants to move from the standard wristband patient ID to RFID chips, placed on each patient at the time of admission. He also wants all medical resources to be tagged and tracked with RFID chips. He says there is the potential for implanting the chips in patients, but that this is still controversial. How would you proceed to give appropriate consideration to this proposal?
