Zebra and Patient Safety

Monday, January 11th, 2010

Improve patient safety and accuracy throughout your hospital with Zebra printers and supplies. Medication administration errors cause a multitude of deaths each year and bar code and RFID systems are a proven way of preventing these errors.

Zebra wristbands help healthcare professionals identify the right patient every time, and they are a cornerstone of multiple bar code applications that ensure patient safety and process improvement. Prevention is the best form of medicine and Zebra Technologies gives you the best patient safety tools to help reduce and prevent errors.

Positive patient identification is the foundation of patient safety. Build your foundation on long-lasting wristbands that stay on the patient and remain readable after repeated use and extended treatments.
 
Zebra printers and Z-Band wristbands provide a convenient, one-step solution for patient IDs. Text, graphics, and bar codes are produced directly on the wristband in a single pass. There is no need for handwritten or typed inserts, or stick-on labels, which saves time and eliminates a potential point of failure.

A Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations (JCAHO) National Patient Safety Goal calls for two forms of patient identification on the wristband. Zebra wristband solutions can easily satisfy this requirement, and can encode patient information in bar codes and radio frequency identification (RFID) tags to comply with HIPAA privacy requirements.

Lost, damaged, and illegible wristbands contribute to many errors. Z-Band materials are formulated to prevent these problems. Used with Zebra’s printers they produce top quality, long lasting images and resist exposure to alcohol, soaps, water, moisture, X-rays, and other hazards that can ruin wristbands. Z-Band wristbands are available in youth and adult sizes in a variety of colors for comfortable, convenient patient identification.

RFID encoded wristband data can be read through bed linens, so patients don’t have to be disturbed when sleeping. They can be used with fixed readers in doorways and corridors, to help staff keep track of ambulatory patients.
