Overview: This paper sheds light on the myths and confusion surrounding RFID and addresses the choice of HF versus UHF technology for item-level pedigree pharmaceutical tracking. It also provides an overview of some of the commercial pharmaceutical and healthcare field trials and implementations. The numbers are astounding and the stakes couldn't be higher for consumers, pharmaceutical manufacturers, distributors and retailers. Up to 7 percent of all drugs in the international supply chain may be counterfeit.
