Abstract
As a key technology of U-health, RFID can be applied to the hospitals in a variety of cases such as patient tracking, medical instrument management, and so on. However, adoption of RFID in healthcare does not reach expectations because of huge cost. Exact estimation of cost and effectiveness will boost adoption of RFID in healthcare. This study proposes a novel simulation technique to evaluate cost and effectiveness of RFID in hospital environment. To do this, this study proposes a technique for modeling patients' movements in a hospital. Based on the model, this study provides how to obtain tag event dataset by means of simulating identifications of RFID tags that are attached to patients.
