Abstract

Introduction: Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) is a type of automatic identification technology which uses radio waves for collecting and transferring data. Due to extensive use in tracking and identifying people and objects, this technology has been able to solve many of the hospital;#39s problems and help to increase the quality of delivery of services. The aim of this study was to survey the relationship between effective factors in the implementation of RFID. Materials and Methods: This is an applicable study conducted as a cross‑sectional study in 2015. The study was conducted in the hospitals affiliated to Semnan University of Medical Sciences. Data were collected using questionnaires. The validity and reliability of the questionnaires were assessed, and data were analyzed using SPSS (Version 16) and LISREL 8.8, followed by conducting path analysis. Results: The average of all three variables human, cultural and organizational factors were in a desirable and high status from the Stakeholders’ viewpoint. Considerably, present findings indicate that the predictive coefficient of cultural readiness of hospitals is meaningful for the implementation of the proposed technology. (T>2) Conclusion: Since users;#39 views in RFID implementation are very important and useful, therefore, we must consider the views of these stakeholders that which play a critical role in the success or failure and accurate assessment of the resources required for the system.
