I. INTRODUCTION
As the process of industrial and commercial automation,
hospitals are also being included in the context of automation.
Thus, solutions that can automate hospital processes have
been searched, in order to make them more secure and with a
lower operational cost.
In this context, there are several works looking forward to
providing technologies to support the emerging demands in
the process of hospital automation, as:
Murakami, et al, (2006) developed a Glucose's
Continuous Monitoring system in Patients Critics of
the Intensive Care Unit;
Vrady, P., et al, (2002) developed a Patient's
Tracking System Based on Open Architecture using
Standard Technology;
Varshney, (2006), shows the monitoring of patients
using the wireless LANs Oriented Infrastructure.
The research in the area of hospital automation has the
objective to solve recurring operational problems. This paper

The passive tags require a transmitter that sends power to
them in the form of radio waves and also a device capable of
reading the information and providing the data to a user or to
the network. The reader, in such cases, is the device
responsible for such functions. They are responsible for
operations of low level communication with the tags and for
making the data available for the network interface.
Every kind of reader and tags communication occur
wireless. The readers communication with another device is
