The Future of RFID. Join Us and Be a Part of the Solution!

Together, IntelliGuard and other industry leaders are on a mission to eradicate risks to patient safety and health system viability with a more efficient and effective system to track, trace and manage medications.

Join us and be a part of the solution!

RFID and the American Society of Health-System Pharmacists (ASHP)

Since its introduction, RFID has caused a revolution in hospital pharmacy medication management. This innovative technology has already changed inventory management from a tedious task prone to errors and work arounds, to an efficient process that allows pharmacies to quickly and easily keep stock levels appropriate and re-orders timely.

At IntelliGuard, we know that these are just the beginning of the ways that RFID can make healthcare safer for patients and more efficient for staff. We are joined in our excitement for the future of RFID by the American Society of Health System Pharmacists (ASHP) Innovation Center and Fresenius Kabi.

Enhancing Adoption of RFID Technology Research Grant

Together, the ASHP Innovation Center and Fresenius Kabi are underwriting the Enhancing Adoption of RFID Technology research grant, which will fund projects that use RFID to further optimize medication safety and outcomes. The grant program is now open with a top award of 50,000 US dollars.
