Identifying the right patient starts with the right wristband.
|
|
|
Positive patient identification is the foundation of patient
safety. Build your foundation on long-lasting wristbands that
stay on the patient and remain readable after repeated use and
extended treatments. |

Zebra printers and Z-Band
wristbands provide a convenient, one-step solution for
patient IDs. Text, graphics, and bar codes are produced
directly on the wristband in a single pass. There is no
need for handwritten or typed inserts, or stick-on
labels, which saves time and eliminates a potential
point of failure. |

A Joint Commission on
Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations (JCAHO)
National Patient Safety Goal calls for two forms of
patient identification on the wristband. Zebra wristband
solutions can easily satisfy this requirement, and can
encode patient information in bar codes and radio
frequency identification (RFID) tags to comply with
HIPAA privacy requirements. |

Lost, damaged, and illegible
wristbands contribute to many errors. Z-Band materials
are formulated to prevent these problems. Used with
Zebra’s printers, they produce top quality, long lasting
images and resist exposure to alcohol, soaps, water,
moisture, X-rays, and other hazards that can ruin
wristbands. Z-Band wristbands are available in youth and
adult sizes in a variety of colors for comfortable,
convenient patient identification.

RFID encoded wristband data
can be read through bed linens, so patients don’t have
to be disturbed when sleeping. They can be used with
fixed readers in doorways and corridors, to help staff
keep track of ambulatory patients.
