According to this RFID Journal article, "[w]hile some real-time locating system- (RTLS) and RFID-based technologies are aimed at wide scale adoption across a hospital to track patients, staff or assets, those solutions can be costly and require significant infrastructure." That may no longer be the case, based on a recently announced solution that's designed to be low cost and easy to deploy, making large investments no longer necessary. 

Excerpt: "When a new patient is admitted, they are issued a wristband with their name and ID information printed on it, similarly to standard wristbands. RFiD Discovery’s band’s label is printed by a SATO RFID printer and encoded with a unique ID that links to that patient in the company’s software. The RFID data can be integrated with a hospital’s existing patient management system and that patient’s room or bed number is included for proper bed management."
