Accenture Challenge
Looking back on the Accenture challenge, I thought it was a very interesting project. It was a heavy road at first because of so many issues up-front with RFID chips. Issues such as temperature flaws from frequency radiation to cost effectiveness was an issue. I thought it was a worthwhile project to discover and was pertinent to the times were in at the moment.
It was an interesting challenge, because throughout most of the presentation I could easily put myself in the shoes of those "challenging us" for some of the safety issues involved. A dash of skepticism is worth it's weight in gold sometimes.
Issues of health and privacy is a major concern for everyone involved with the patient, and this involves employers as well. I remember holding some fairly heavy opinions on RFID tags during this project, and I held grave concern over patients safety in the matter when it came to bottling them with the medication. I have been in and out working in most departments of a hospital and this project seemed very interesting from an Oncology ward's point of view to the basicprimary care physician.
It was a long 48 hours, or however long it felt like the project seemed to run through. But the run helped us learn a lot.
