Patient Verification

Patient verification is the process of accurately identifying a patient at every stage of their care, from the moment they arrive at a hospital or GP surgery through to treatment and discharge. It typically involves printing barcoded or QR coded wristbands and labels that allow staff to quickly confirm a patient’s identity, track medication, and access medical records accurately and safely.

Patient wristbands are typically printed using desktop label printers at admission points, or mobile label printers that can be carried to the patient directly. BIXOLON offers both options, with solutions that can be cart-mounted, fixed to a desk, or carried by staff, depending on what works best for the environment.

Barcode wristband printers produce patient identification bands containing barcodes or QR codes that link to a patient’s records. When scanned, these allow clinical staff to instantly verify identity, check medication details, and update records, reducing the risk of errors at every point of care.
