The need to reduce errors and increase patient safety are issues that affect every hospital and healthcare system. Each year, millions of dollars are wasted and tens of thousands of patients are victims of identification errors in medication administration, transfusion, specimen collection, patient charging, and point-of-care testing. Barcode-based identification, scanning and data collection systems reduce these errors and increase patient safety. The FDA estimates that the implementation of a barcode identification and data management system can reduce errors by over 80% and save healthcare providers over 83 billion dollars over the next 20 years. General Data has developed a line of innovative products designed to help healthcare providers deliver better patient care through the use of barcoding and auto ID systems: |
PersonalID patient identification wristbands deliver a new level of truly positive patient identification by utilizing barcodes and patient photographs on one durable, tamperproof, easy-to-print wristband. PersonalID wristbands meet or exceed the strict standards of the healthcare industry's top regulatory groups. |
Proper and reliable identification of laboratory specimens and samples -- its the essential foundation for an efficient and error-free laboratory. StainerShield is a family of products that enables clinical and research laboratories to use bar code identification and tracking technologies to streamline lab workflow and positively identify and track all specimens, from accessioning to grossing, through staining, checkout, review and archiving. |
