Keep patients safe and avoid financial loss
Being able to identify patients at any given moment of their treatment is one of the principal elements to keep patients safe, as it is essential for caregivers to provide the appropriate care. That’s why more and more hospitals choose automatic identification systems to prevent possible human errors.
The use of barcode or RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) identification labels and wristbands not only significantly improves patient safety: it reduces medication mistakes, blood transfusion errors, wrong-site surgeries, etc. Next to that, it also increases staff productivity thanks to lower risk of human error and less paperwork.
