Barcode Patient Identification and Patient Tracking Systems

Effective, error-free patient identification is one of the most important steps for ensuring patient safety. Barcode patient ID and patient tracking systems helps prevent dangerous medical errors by making accurate and reliable patient information immediately available for point-of-care medication administration, specimen collection, surgical procedures and any other patient care activity throughout the hospital stay.

The foundation of any reliable patient identification and patient tracking system is built on printing barcodes on patient wristbands, and scanning those barcodes to assure positive patient identification.

Positive Patient Identification Starts Here

General Data's Personal ID™ and G-Band™ patient identification wristbands help hospitals achieve patient safety goals by providing a reliable and convenient solution for patient ID. Facilities can easily print text, barcodes and graphics directly on the wristband using standard desktop direct thermal printers or color inkjet printers. These easy-to-use wristbands do not require stick-on labels or inserts, which saves time and eliminates potential error.

As the Joint Commission's National Patient Safety Goals call for two forms of patient ID on the wristband, General Data's wristband solutions can help facilities meet these guidelines and comply with HIPAA privacy requirements. Personal ID and G-Band wristband materials are formulated to produce high-resolution text, barcodes and graphics that are long-lasting and stand up to abrasion and exposure to alcohol, soap, water, Betadine, moisture, hand sanitizer, X-rays and other hazards that can make critical patient information encoded in printed barcodes illegible.
