Here, we present the concept and architecture of an RFID-enabled platform for hospital ward management, which aims to provide inpatient care of higher quality, reduce patient risk, and optimize operations. After the outbreak of SARS, a project team from the CUHK considered the feasibility of using RFID technology to enable traceability for person-to-person physical contacts in order to provide immediate response to the widespread of infectious diseases and better risk management within hospital wards. In this paper, we presented an active RFID-enabled platform to keep track of the locations of patients, ward staff, and medical equipment, for hospital ward management.	./cache/cord-262150-j72jbohi.txt	./txt/cord-262150-j72jbohi.txt
