How a Doctor Breaks Norms to Treat Refugees and Recent Immigrants

AURORA, Colo. — Fatumo Osman, a 65-year-old Somali refugee who speaks limited English, was in a bind. She made too much money at a meal prep service job so she no longer qualified for Medicaid. But knee pain kept her from working, so her income had dropped. She could reapply for Medicaid, get her knee fixed and return to work, at which point she’d lose that safety-net health coverage. Her first step was getting a note from a doctor so she wouldn’t lose her job.

So, Osman came to Mango House, a clinic in this eastern suburb of Denver that caters primarily to refugees and turns no one away, regardless of their ability to pay. Dr. P.J. Parmar designed the clinic to survive on the Medicaid payments that many doctors across the U.S. reject as too low.

The clinic is just one part of a broader refugee ecosystem that Parmar has built. Mango House provides food and clothing assistance, after-school programs, English classes, legal help — and Parmar even leads a Boy Scout troop there. He leases space to nine stores and six restaurants, all owned and run by refugees. Mango House hosts a dozen religious groups, plus community meetings, weddings and other celebrations. When Parmar needs an interpreter for a patient from any of a dozen languages spoken in the building, he can easily grab one of his tenants.

“This is what I call a medical home,” Parmar said.

Although it’s not part of the formal U.S. refugee resettlement program, Mango House is in many ways emblematic of refugee health care in the U.S. It’s a less-than-lucrative field of medicine that often relies on individual physicians willing to eke out a living caring for an underserved and under-resourced population.

Parmar finds creative ways, often flouting norms or skirting rules, to fit his patients’ needs. As a result, Mango House looks nothing like the rest of the U.S. health care system and, at times, draws the ire of the medical establishment.

“How do you deliver the quality of care necessary, and that they deserve, while still keeping the lights on? It’s a struggle for sure,” said Jim Sutton, executive director of the Society of Refugee Healthcare Providers. “It’s these heroes, these champions out there, these cowboys that are taking this on.”

Osman brought her son, Jabarti Yussef, 33, to interpret for her. They have been coming to Mango House for 10 years and said that Parmar opens doors for them when they have trouble accessing care.

“If we ask for an appointment to get Medicaid, P.J. makes the call,” Yussef said. “If we call, we’re on hold for an hour, and then it hangs up. If we go to the ER, it’s a three-hour wait. Here, the majority of people walk in and sit for 30 minutes. It’s good for the community.”

As for Osman’s knee pain, Yussef asked Parmar, could they pay cash to get an MRI at the hospital?

“I can almost guarantee it’s arthritis,” Parmar replied. “You could do an X-ray. That will cost $100. An MRI will cost $500. And if it shows a bigger problem, what are you going to do? It will cost you $100,000.”

Parmar said he would connect them with someone who could help Osman enroll in Medicaid but that it’s an imperfect solution. “Most orthopedists don’t take Medicaid,” Parmar said. Older immigrants need to have worked the equivalent of 10 years in the U.S. to qualify for Medicare.

Medicaid, which covers low-income people, generally pays primary health care providers a third less than Medicare, which covers seniors and the disabled. And both pay even less than commercial insurance plans. Some doctors paint Medicaid patients as more difficult and less likely to follow instructions, show up on time or speak English.

Parmar said he realized back in medical school that few doctors were motivated to treat Medicaid patients. If he limited his practice to just Medicaid, he said dryly, he’d have guaranteed customers and no competition.

So how does he survive on Medicaid rates? By keeping his overhead low. There are no appointments, so no costs for a receptionist or scheduling software.

He said his patients often like that they can drop in anytime and be seen on a first-come, first-served basis, much like an urgent care clinic, and similar to the way things worked in their native countries.

Because he takes only Medicaid, he knows how to bill the program and doesn’t have to hire billing specialists to deal with 10 insurance companies.

It’s also more cost-efficient for the health system. Many of his patients would otherwise go to the emergency room, sometimes avoiding care altogether until their problems get much worse and more expensive to fix.

“Really none of our innovations are new or unique; we just put them together in a unique way to help low-income folks, while making money,” Parmar said. “And then, instead of taking that money home, I put it back into the refugee community.”

The son of Indian immigrants, Parmar, 46, was born in Canada but grew up in Chicago and moved to Colorado after college in 1999, where he did his medical training at the University of Colorado School of Medicine. He opened Mango House 10 years ago, buying a building and renting out space to refugees to cover the cost. Two years ago, he expanded into a vacant J.C. Penney building across the street.

“There’s a good three-, four-year dip in the red here, intentionally, as we move from there to here,” Parmar said. “But that red is going to go away soon.”

The covid pandemic has helped shore up his finances, as federal incentives and payment increases boosted revenue and allowed him to pay down his debt faster.

Parmar must navigate a host of obstacles while working to overcome financial and language barriers. A Muslim Somali woman needs dental care but is uncomfortable seeing a male dentist. A Nepalese woman needs a prescription refill, but she lives in Denver and so has been assigned by Medicaid to the safety-net hospital, Denver Health. Parmar won’t get paid but sees her anyway. Another patient brings paperwork showing he’s being sued by a local health system for a year-old emergency room bill he has no way to pay. A Nepalese man with psoriasis doesn’t want creams or ointments; good medicine, he believes, comes through a needle.

“A lot of this is, basically, geriatrics,” Parmar said. “You have to add 20 years to get their age in refugee years.”

When one patient turns away momentarily, Parmar discreetly throws away her bottle of meloxicam, a strong anti-inflammatory he said she shouldn’t be taking because of her kidney problems. He began stocking over-the-counter medications after realizing his patients got overwhelmed amid 200 varieties of cough and cold medicines at the drugstore. Some couldn’t find what he told them to get, even after he printed flyers showing pictures of the products.

Parmar’s creative solutions, however, often rub many in health care the wrong way. Some balk at his use of family members or others as informal interpreters. Best practices call for the use of trained interpreters who understand medicine and patient privacy rules. But billing for interpretation isn’t possible, so hospitals and clinics must pay interpreters themselves. And that’s beyond the capabilities of most refugee clinics, unless they’re affiliated with a larger health system that can absorb those costs.

“It’s a good thing to have the standards, but it’s another thing altogether to implement them,” said Dr. Pat Walker, an expert on refugee health at the University of Minnesota.

When Mango House began providing covid vaccines, residents of more affluent areas of town started showing up. Parmar tried to limit vaccinations only to those patients living in the immediate area, checking ZIP codes on their IDs. The state stepped in to say he could neither require IDs nor turn away any patients, regardless of his refugee-focused mission.

During a recent lull at the clinic, Parmar took stock of that day’s inventory of patients. Six were assigned to Denver Health, one patient’s Medicaid coverage had expired, and two had high-deductible commercial plans. Chances are he wouldn’t get paid for seeing any of them. Of the 25 patients he had seen that day, 14 had Medicaid coverage that Parmar could bill.

“We see the rest of them anyway,” he said.

Adventures in Deckbuilding #201: Maud Pie, Rockin' (Orange/Purple Aggro) [Harmony]

Maud Pie, Rockin’

World Tour

I promised not to build a farm deck, and indeed I didn’t do that. That being said, perhaps it’s not the most creative list. For those unaware, this deck is a variation on a Purple/Orange list that I’ve been having a lot of fun playing in Core. The general strategy is to stay mostly toe-to-toe with an opponent through the early and mid-game with the use of efficient Friends and Events, before using Legacy Leech to get a big value turn and dropping one or two huge Restricted Sections to close out the game. That basic idea is still here, but there are some real modifications to speak of given that 1) we’re in Harmony rather than Core, and 2) this deck is built for an Orange Mane rather than a Purple one.

First, being in Harmony gives us access to a bunch of really great cards. Factory-jack was the number one auto-inclusion, as it is still a great resource generator at a very favourable spot in the requirement curve. It’s helped out a great deal by us being able to start with Trading Traditions, which as it always does significantly increases the strength of our “entry” cards because they are allowed to have one req. Being able to T1 a Factory-jack is still an amazing start, and an opportunity that I couldn’t pass up. Two more great additions are the Epiphany events from Absolute Discord in both Orange and Purple. Twilight’s Epiphany gives us card draw, which is something that these colours normally lack, while Applejack’s Epiphany, in addition to being Resource removal, has a surprising amount of synergy with the rest of the deck too. Almost all of our Friends actually can exhaust to do useful things, and so in a deck that wants to confront Problems and win faceoffs, having a source of readying is actually quite appreciated.

Zap Apples is another great card that I was happy to include. While initially it may seem at odds both with this Mane and with the tactic of using Legacy Leech for max value, it’s still correct that this deck will likely have a healthy discard pile most of the time due to its large amount of Events. Tactically sacrificing some of them for +3 Power now rather than 1 AT later should be useful. Plus, when Celestia comes down, a banished Event is a banished Event; it’s all the same to her. Magical Misfire can actually serve a similar purpose, though it will almost always be directed at an opposing discard pile, when it is played.

Concerning the fact that we have an Orange Mane rather than a Purple one, we have a problem to solve in how we expect to reliably get to 4 Purple req in order to play Celestia. I couldn’t imagine a version of this deck without her, but 4 req is usually a no-go for the off-colour. Luckily for us, as Maud will almost always be at least 4 Power, a single Rushed Makeover should usually be able to get us up to 4 even if we have no other Purple in play. And indeed, having an Orange Mane makes it easy to play Desert Road, still one of the best Resources out there for cutting off the opponent’s tempo.

In the Purple version of the deck, there’s a strong argument in favour of including Tempest Shadow, Open Skies, as it’s usually trivial to have her Unity requirements met and she synergizes really well with all of the events that we are playing. In the Orange version I’m a lot less confident of that, though I included Grand Pear only reluctantly instead. Usually we won’t have much a Problem winning faceoffs, so his text isn’t nearly as beneficial to us. But I still think that it will be easy to get to 10 Orange, so worth an include especially as he’s in a good requirement spot.

The other card often flagged for inclusion in the Core version of the deck is Sunset Shimmer, Clever Calculator, and cutting her here was still just as hard as not including her there is. Ultimately, I think that her Meticulous 2 is a lot less synergistic with Maud as it is compared to Twilight in Core, but is probably still worth looking into. I also considered the AD Sunset Shimmer, who is in a good req spot, assists in getting cards into our discard, and earns AT for us. It’s another very viable choice, but I’m not sure that I can come up with something to cut in order to clear space for it. With some thought and practice, maybe I could identify some underperforming cards, or trim down the sideboard and find room for her there.

Otherwise, though, the Core version of this deck has been a ton of fun to play, and I’m sure that this Harmony incarnation would provide the same.

And so we set into another century of decks. I still have a couple from New Dawn that I actually haven’t covered at all yet, so we’ll rectify that in the next installment. It will be Grogar/Discord, Ruinous Ruse!

[thecoroutfitters]

Travel Trailer vacationing has become a huge alternative for those who don’t like the restrictions of renting a room at a resort motel or hotel or traveling out of the country.

It gives them more of a variety of choices and travel freedom to literally camp out in style almost anywhere you decide to stop along the way. Due to the popularity and growth of the RV industry these things ‘have come a long way, baby!’

But how good would they be for the serious prepper to use as a useful bug out hideout, temporarily, or even for possible, long term or even permanent off grid survival living?

Here are some things to consider…

The Good, the Bad, the Ugly

Travel Trailers, also called RVs because they fall Into the ‘Recreational Vehicle’s licensing category in most states, have been around for a long time and come in a variety of sizes and configurations.

If money is no big deal when it comes to your comfort, style, and amenities, you can go hog wild and slob crazy feasting your eyes, and wallet, on one of the top of the line Motor Homes. Which are appropriately nomenclated as such because they are, literally, a very nice ‘home’ with a motor in it that allows you to drive it around like a bus instead of hauling it behind you.

These come in three styles. Wow, Awesome, and OMG-UnFreakingbelievable! The last category being more adapted for the rich and famous, and is what you usually see the big music stars driving across country in when they’re on concert tours.

These beauties can sometimes run upwards of seven figures depending upon luxuries. But even the ‘Wow’ models are not cheap and go for anywhere between seventy thousand to a quarter million for a nice one that comfortably sleeps 4-6 persons.

And technically, guess what? These are pretty much already completely self-sustained and off grid right out of the showroom door. Especially if it’s a diesel. You don’t even have to plug it in somewhere for electricity every time you stop if you keep the rather large fuel tanks filled.

And you don’t even need to keep the vehicle’s motor running. They have deep cycle batteries and a small compact onboard diesel generator already hooked into the power system and connected to the main diesel fuel tanks just for continuous charging of the batteries or direct off grid electricity in the newer models!

A Tough Choice

But would I choose one of these behemoth motor homes for off grid living? Not unless it was FREE!

Because of the comparison that for the same cost of a higher end newer motor home one could have a nice custom off grid concrete house somewhere relatively private that’s a little more weather and intrusion resistant.

Also, there are some inherent maintenance disadvantages in large motor homes as they age like not being able to work on them that much yourself unless you’re a skilled mechanic. And you can’t just bring them to your local car mechanic in town.

Plus, when you think about it, how much actual motor-homing are you going to do to justify the enormous cost of fuel? There’s no such thing as a fuel efficient motor home and if you get stuck in the mud on a dirt road to your BOL, you are not going to push it out by hand.

And unlike pulling an RV Travel Trailer, you can’t just unhook your car or truck from it, and still have mobility. Depending upon the area of the country you want to go you would require a pricey power winch installed to help get you out of trouble on a steep or rough back road.

So all things considered, what’s the cost justification differential with a motorhome compared to a Travel Trailer pulled behind your personal vehicle? What’s the critical difference in towing your living quarters or driving a self propelled one?

Not much, until they come out with the robotic self-driving ones in a couple of years. Then this will bring a whole new meaning to “over the road vacations!” But these still would only be a sunny afternoon pipe dream for most of us anyway.

However, if you are not hauling your Country Western Band from coast to coast so you don’t need a replica of an Amtrak Train but still are enamored of a motorhome, there are many smaller models and versions that are built on a larger Chevy, Ford, or other such chassis.

They’re much cheaper, especially used, and easier to maneuver into smaller parking areas.

I know a woman who lives on the TX coast in a condo and has a small 20’ Ford motor camper with all the conveniences. It’s well stocked with supplies and water and extra fuel.

When a hurricane is forecasted she just hits the road with it and when she reaches an out of danger distance, she simply parks in the nearest Walmart or Truck Stop, steps up between the front seats into the back, relaxes on the couch, and waits out the event in comfort and safety!

She even named her motor home ‘APIAS’ for Any Port in a Storm. Not a bad idea, using your RV as a BOV so you don’t really need a dedicated BOL!

Different Strokes…

But the best ‘bang for the buck’ alternative would be one of the intermediate travel trailers, 20’ to 35’ long you are now seeing a lot of these days on the road.

In the past the larger heavier ones had a front hitch set up known as the ‘fifth wheel’. This was a heavy, bulky device based on the way the big semi-tractor trailer trucks hooked up and could only be installed in the back bed of a pick-up truck. Not on a regular back bumper area ball hitch.

Since older pick up trucks were not the ‘cat’s Meow’ of comfortable road cruising, pulling a 5th wheel trailer long distances was often tiring.

Today most of the newer larger travel trailers are made with lighter materials and advertised as ‘light weight’ RVs and the 5th wheel is becoming obsolete for RV camping. Which means you can pick one up used for a really good deal if you already have a truck and don’t mind installing a 5th wheel hitch in your truck bed.

But the light weight Travel Trailers (TT) changes the ball game and some really nice midsized ultra lite Travel Trailers can even be pulled by regular family cars.

The designs have changed a lot as well. They’re just as comfortable and user friendly than a modern apartment with a lot of nice amenities.

Making the Best Choice

The old saying, ‘Everything’s Nice, Until You See the Price!’ tells it all here.

Since some of us who are interested in using TTs for off the grid living already can’t afford a house and then serious additional expense of converting the house to permanent off grid solar power, the only way we’ll even get close to off grid living is by opting for a Travel Trailer instead.

So it all boils down to costs. And here’s where it gets interesting. The reality is that not only is it fairly easy to live completely off grid in a trailer, and do it for a cost that almost anybody with any income can afford.

It can also be done comfortably and relatively cheaply if you think carefully about your needs and do some diligence in planning and searching for the best deal on the right trailer for your anticipated lifestyle.

Bigger is Not Always Better

When we think of living space most of us are already thinking incorrectly for practical application. Everybody, especially Americans, always likes bigger space, and more closets, and more appliances, and so on. We’re all conditioned by society to live like that.

But is it really necessary? Not for the most part.

Designers of living quarters always knew that when it comes down to it, there are only three basic areas people spend their inside time in: the Bedroom, the Bathroom, and the Kitchen.

Unless you’re a teenager who thinks their bedroom is a separate apartment or you are homebound a lot, you don’t even really spend that much time in these rooms if you’re working or active. People in other countries (like Japan) live their entire lives in one room city apartments!

Even some expensive luxury condos in New York are only 400 square feet of living space which is less than a 35’ by 12’ TT with slide outs. So even if you came from a large house style of living, it wouldn’t take you long to get acclimated to a comfortable smaller size domicile.

You might even like it better?

A Well Kept Secret

There are a lot more people living in travel trailers than you would think.

In fact there is a dedicated industry that caters specifically to people who want to live full time in their travel trailer. For a monthly fee much less than an average apartment rental, they provide a spot to park with an electric service plug in and a septic system to connect your waste tank hose into.

Your TT usually has a mini-version of a regular forced air home heating system, complete with in floor heat registers/vents powered by a couple 30 or 20 pound propane tanks, also usually filled at one of these ‘”community living” Travel Trailer RV camping spots, or available exchange refills at every Walmart in the country.

So pull into one of these camper places, set up in a couple hours, plop down on your couch in front of your HD flat screen, crack open a brewski and enjoy the playoffs!

There is an entire sub-industry lifestyle revolving around the TT phenomenon. There are guides and publications like ‘Trailer Life’ and others. Outlets and dealers and resources for RVs are everywhere.

And if you’re looking to escape from the mind numbing grind, an ex spouse, or family that makes you pop Alleve tablets like a kid chunking M&Ms every time you see them, it’s pretty hard to track or find you in your TT camper if you don’t leave a huge paper trail by paying cash for most expenses.

How Hard is to Make Your Trailer Completely Off Grid

Because most of them are already wired with built in 12 volt electrical lighting and DC to AC power inverters off a back-up battery, there’s almost nothing to it.

You would simply upgrade your battery bank with a few additional batteries, and a basic solar panel charging system or small portable wind turbine or build your own system along the lines of the(name the power unit book you are selling here?).

With enough watts to cover your electric needs and you’ve now got the power grid monkey off your back!

If you want to set up to include total disconnection from municipal systems somewhere more remote on your own land you’ll need a well and a septic system.

These are not cheap but depending upon water table depths and septic system requirements in your area sometimes you can get away with a relatively inexpensive sand point shallow well.

There are several Youtube tutorials on how to dig and set up your own well pump, and temporarily you can just use an outhouse type latrine if you have to. There’s even things like electric disintegrating toilets or composting toilets now that allow you to avoid digging a complex septic system.

There are all kinds of DIY information out there about hacking easy septic systems also on Youtube about this subject if you are not in an area with strict codes.

Buying a Travel Trailer

This is the best news about off grid living in a Trailer. If you explore the market, even on Ebay or Amazon… is that you might be surprised how inexpensive a decent used Travel Trailer can be.

Many were purchased just for occasional yearly vacations that owners evolved out of and just sit around so the people sell them and they have very little wear and tear other than needing to be cleaned up a little.

Pros and Cons of Off Grid Travel Trailer Living

PROs

…some considerable advantages for the frugal prepper.

Freedom!

I know people who say that once you escape the ‘stick built’ jungle, there’s no going back to being locked into a boring ‘hood’ where all you do is try to ‘keep up with the Joneses’.

Or worry about going underwater in mortgage debt and not being able to sell if the area economy or the environment goes bad and raises your property taxes (like in Kalifreaknia, or Illinois) so high you almost need a six figure income just to own a relatively small home!

And there’s a bit of nomad in a lot of us. After all, it was the nature of early civilization to constantly move around in caravans for improved conditions.

Cost of Living

There’s no disputing the total package efficiency of living off grid in a travel trailer. Dollar for dollar including the cost of the trailer and your expenses are far less for the same services and style of living compared to a standard house construction or usurious apartment rentals.

And your cost of your off grid electrical set up equipment is usually paid for after the first year in power costs and the continued ‘free electricity’ can be huge savings in the long run.

Travel trailers are less maintenance than a conventional house and cheaper when you do have to do some.

CONs

…really not that many.

High Winds

Although you can ‘permanently’, as they say, attach or secure your Travel Trailer to the ground with posts to stabilize against high winds, I don’t know if I’d set up my TT Permanently in a neighborhood area out west known as Tornado Alley?

But not much stands up to a powerful tornado or a Cat 5 hurricane anyway so you just have to think ahead about it.

Heating

Most TTs have adequate heaters but the nature of the need of saving weight in something you haul on the road means that the walls and insulation in these units are not nearly as thick as a regular house. So this might be an issue up North and I don’t know for sure how warm a TT would be in the ‘badlands’ of North Dakota or Alaska although I’m sure you’ll find a few—even with wood burning stoves—no doubt. But there are a never ending supply of suitable living areas in this country where the climate is not yet ‘geoengineered’ enough for the standard unit heating to work just fine, So it’s really a non-issue unless your personal situation requires you to reside in a very cold part of the country.

  So take your time and do your diligence. There are so many choices out there that it will pay off for you to search around. Make your choice to fit your plans. And you’ll be ‘good to go’!

Okay then, see you later on the road, and Off the Grid Monster. Don’t forget to wave!

What Industries Can Make Best Use Of RFID Applications

RFID is an acronym for “radio-frequency identification” and refers to a technology whereby digital data encoded in RFID tags or smart labels are captured by a reader by means of radio waves. RFID is comparable to barcoding in that information from a tag or name are captured by a device that stores the information in a database. RFID, however, has a few advantages over systems that utilize barcode asset tracking software. The most striking is that RFID tag data can be read outside the line-of-sight, while barcodes must be adjusted with an optical scanner.

Following are the industries that uses the RFID at it best :-

1.Events Management

Sports, entertainment and event planning companies invest incredible efforts and huge amounts of money into organizing events that are aimed to bring awareness, sell products, teach the audience or just entertain the crowd. However, utilizing current strategies such as scanning a barcode on a wristband, or a ticket at the entryway, takes off a huge opportunity undiscovered.

Once the guest, visitor, or fan clears out the door and is accounted for, he (or she) is “lost” to the organizer. There's no way to find out where this visitor went, what he did, what he was curious about, what he purchased and no option to see, summarize and act on this data. And that is why event management uses RFID .

RFID system provides following application in event management industry :

Access control

Scans in and out

Reads hundreds of RFID wristbands, tickets and Ids simultaneously

Layered access for Patron Doors, Media Center, Club-level Seating, Employees-Only areas, Common Parking, VIP Parking, etc.

Communications

Advanced registration

Email and mobile number capture

Populate social media (Entry data and overhauls on less congested courses, etc.)

Database development

Visitors Analytics

Length of stay, peak time, activity flow, capacity, population segmentation, real-time checks, hotspots, etc.

2. LOGISTICS

RFID tags contain unique identifiers that correspond to inventory database records. Switching to RFID in your logistics chain offers a few noteworthy advantages over traditional inventory control methods.

Benefits of using RFID in logistics industry are following:

Unique Tracking

RFID tags contain a microchip or other storage device that can contain a huge amount of data. This allows you to place person identifiers on products, instead of using a single barcode for a whole class of items, and to follow individual items through your logistics chain, rather than needing to extrapolate that information from inventory numbers. This too allows you to track a defective thing back to its source in a much simpler way than with other tracking methods.

Wireless Scanning

One of the major advantages of RFID in logistics is how rapidly RFID tags can provide data compared to barcoding or other systems. With a barcode, you have got to pass each code over a scanner to register the item. RFID works wirelessly, so you can point a scanner at a box of items and enroll each one without having to take them out first. A powerful enough RFID scanner may scan whole inventory room at once, making inventory tracking a much quicker process.

Real-Time Updates

Because filtering and inventory control is much quicker with RFID than with other forms of management, the system lends itself to integration with remote communication systems and real-time inventory management systems. This permits you to query the database at any time and find out exactly how much of a given product you have got on hand, rather than getting numbers that will be days or weeks old. RFID scanners built into the entrances of warehouses can even filter cartons as they enter and take off, providing instant updates of inventory sums that can propagate to other clients across the company network.

Integration With Other Systems

The same RFID tags that give inventory data can too give other services as well. Security scanners at building exits can let your system know instantly when any product leaves the premises, permitting you to spot robbery or misdirected shipments rapidly and correct the issue. Moreover, checking RFID tags at entry and exit points allows confirmation of shipping and conveyance of products, allowing you to trace a shipment because it moves through your logistics chain, and give accurate estimates of entry to clients or other business units.

3. HEALTHCARE & MEDICAL

RFID systems can offer assistance to the medical profession. It can connect with patients and the general public, making it simpler, with their consent, to gather data on health habits or to make sure patients are treated with the proper drugs. It can be utilized to support public health activities, observing the take up of freely issued medications or prophylactics.

Below are some common RFID applications being used in hospitals all over the globe.

Inventory Tracking

Tracking inventory with RFID can be accomplished with nearly any sorts of item, but, RFID systems can be especially challenging to implement when tracking liquid-filled resources. RFID tags with the ability to track these resources are becoming more readily accessible, generally due to the request from the pharmaceutical industry.

People/Attendee Tracking

Right now, clinics are using passive RFID technology as well as instances of active RFID to track patients and staff all through hospitals.

Patients and staffed are fitted with RFID tags primarily To verify patient information, to locate patients and Reduce wait times and bottlenecks.

Tool Tracking

Surgical instruments like surgical blades, scissors, clamps, and retractors are required for surgeries every day; so, this equipment should always be on hand, clean, sanitized, and ready to utilize.Unfortunately, not having the correct surgical equipment on hand is the least dangerous circumstance caused by not tracking these devices.

tracking these items with RFID tags guarantee that each device was cleaned and disinfected prior to use.

Access Control

this is another aspect of people tracking that hospitals use to restrain access to certain rooms or areas in order to prevent individuals from wandering around the office. With this sort of system, the staff members must wave or tap their RFID-enabled badges before door readers in order to gain access. Not only does this prevent unauthorized access to confined areas, but it gives patients, medicine, and medical equipment with a level of security that prevents robbery or damage.

4. RAILWAYS

By including visibility, operational efficiencies, and extreme precision – RFID brings down labor costs and improves client and worker satisfaction. All these increments lower the cost and reduce the hazard of transportation via railways. The cost to tag each wagon or rail car is tag dependent on several factors, but generally ranges below $20, and, even with the one-time equipment infrastructure cost of reading stations throughout the track, the cost to implement an RFID arrangement is commonly less than the value of assets on one rail car.

Some of Service provided by RFID systems in Railway industries are Rail car or wagon tracking,Preventative Maintenance with UHF RFID, Asset management, vehicle availability planning, ticketing etc.

some common benefits from using RFID on railways:

Increased Customer Service

Increased Visibility

Increased Customer Satisfaction

Decreased Operating Costs Decreased Human Error Decreased Amount of Lost/Stolen Items

Decreased Fraud

Decreased Logistical Delays

5. RETAIL INDUSTRIES

The ECU’s software program programmes, or maps, manipulate gas delivery and timing so that the engine runs efficaciously at any RPM and emissions live within desirable degrees. The early generation of engine control devices stored their maps on a removable laptop chip. Newer ECUs have built-in maps that may be accessed via the On Board Diagnostic port.

Dozens of settings that affect the overall performance of your automobile are changed inside the remapping procedure.

The greater electricity and torque has practical uses, too. Stop-and-move using in the city will require fewer gear adjustments and much less braking and accelerate, which interprets into fuel financial savings. High mileage drivers may even see better fuel financial system from greater efficient gasoline combustion at better tour speeds. If you want to tow a vacation caravan or some other heavy load, your newly tuned vehicle will have the greater torque it wishes to keep up with traffic and pull extra accurately.

Whoever you choose to music your diesel car need to possess the latest ECU tuning equipment and the right abilities. Don’t even think about trusting your car to one of the reasonably-priced carrier vendors. Technology in new cars changes so rapidly that groups should always update their equipment and software to hold tempo, and you may guess that prices cash. Get your automobile tuned by means of a real professional and you will don’t have any regrets afterwards.
