Slide 4: Another example : Healthcare
Estimate shows about 100,000 people die every on year in US due to medication error. (source Institute of Medecin, Washington DC) Experiments using RFID wristband for patients show a 86.6 % reduction in medication errors (US Veterans Health Administration, 173 facilities, 2002/2003) Hospital assets management through RFID and Mobile devices allows control of asset and costs limitation

Slide 12: Managing Privacy & Security
Cost of Adoption Item / Shelf Point of Sale Retail Distribution Manufacturing Commercial Security Personal Privacy
Pallet / Dock Doors
Broad adoption at POS is in the future
– –
Need standards, education and shared value proposition Service has good value proposition, but also privacy concerns Syndication - Who has access to which data?
Important current concern is Commercial Security
–
Becomes most critical with open-loop systems With 10g, Oracle’s VPD offers row level access control and masking, independently from the application
