In this day and age, Hospitals, GPs and Healthcare organisations are under increasing pressure to provide accurate diagnosis and care to its patients. Connecting the right patient to the right care is often critical for the patient’s well-being.
Technologies have become essential in the running of healthcare operations. Barcoding, Labelling and Wristbanding have become essential not only to track assets, but provide protection, prevention and security for patients, staff and medication.
How does it all work?
Patient Identity Tracking
From the moment a patient walks into a Hospital, visits a GP or Healthcare
establishment, identification management is essential for tracking and
servicing the patient. Using a variety of applications through barcoding or QR
codes on patient wristbanding or medical notes to identify important data or
track medication, labelling medical records and more, accurate data is required
on the patient at all times.
Healthcare Asset Recording
From barcode labelling for bloods and specimens to tracking of theatre
equipment and even patient wheelchairs, identification is essential for the
productivity and efficiency of the medical profession.
Staff Flexibility
Barcoding and labelling of staff activity is essential throughout the
healthcare chain, it provides better communication, simplified workflows,
leading to increased operation efficiency. Allowing secure communication and
collaboration of patient information to provide the highest level of care.
Prescription
Administration
Traditional tracking of drug administration is time consuming and is followed
by a great opportunities for error. Barcode labelling of medication provides
traceability and allows accurate dispensing to the unit-dosage level and audit
supplies. Having systems in place allows an audit trail of dosage through
caregivers and reduces paperwork surrounding prescriptions for healthcare
professionals and pharmacies.
