You’ve decided to deploy barcoded patient wristbands, but what wristband materials and what printing options should you select? Zebra Technologies’ recent white paper, It’s All in the Wrist: Improving Patient Safety with Barcode Wristbands, provides valuable insight into the competing considerations that will drive those decisions. Wristband Materials First and foremost, the wristband you deploy…
My previous posts on the Zebra Technologies‘ white paper, It’s All in the Wrist: Improving Patient Safety with Barcode Wristbands, have considered various medical and non-medical applications specific to barcoded patient wristbands, but I’ve neglected until now to touch on the aspect of selecting the optimum barcode symbology, and, given the many options, this is…
In this my fourth comment on Zebra Technologies’ white paper, It’s All in the Wrist: Improving Patient Safety with Barcode Wristbands, I’d like to touch on the potential non-medical applications of barcoded patient wristbands, specifically those related to administrative and accounting record keeping, as well as those that facilitate the mundane functions such as inventory…
I’ve previously commented on the medication- and blood-administration aspects of Zebra Technologies’ recent white paper entitled It’s All in the Wrist: Improving Patient Safety with Barcode Wristbands, but that important resource covers other critical barcode wristband applications as well. As with medication and blood administration, The Joint Commission treats tracking of treatments and procedures as…
I was recently inspired by Zebra Technologies’ white paper, It’s All in the Wrist: Improving Patient Safety with Barcode Wristbands, to comment on the increasing role of barcoded patient wristbands in ensuring accuracy of delivery and record keeping of medication administration. But, that’s not the only topic covered by that important Zebra resource. Barcode technology…
Recent legislation and regulatory provisions designed to escalate U.S. implementation of electronic health record (EHR) systems have elevated the status of barcoded patient wristbands to that of essential technology. This is just one of the revelations I gleaned from the recent Zebra Technologies white paper, It’s All in the Wrist: Improving Patient Safety with Barcode…
I wrote recently about Zebra’s introduction of a newly enhanced version of its HC100 Wristband Printer line, but mentioned only in passing the unique cartridge-loaded Z-Band wristbands that the printers deliver. Z-Band wristbands are available in a number solution-specific of configurations, including antimicrobial-coated bands designed specifically for patient identification. Because those of us who are…
How do you improve class-leading label printers that are already efficient, user-friendly and durable? By significantly extending battery performance using two distinct strategies. First, Zebra’s industry-first (PSPT) manages energy output to the thermal print heads, allotting less energy to print plates that are already heated rather than wasting redundant power on those plates. PSPT is…
Zebra Technologies’ Legacy HC100 wristband printer set the standard for ease of use, while producing readable, long-lasting barcodes and text at print speeds of up to 2 inches (51 mm) per second. The newly enhanced HC100 printer doubles that maximum output to up to 4 inches (102 mm) per second, while retaining the accuracy, ease…
It’s that time of year again here in the northeast United States. The leaves are changing colors, the trees will soon be bare, and there is an unmistakable chill in the air, especially at night. Everything and everyone is starting to slow down as winter approaches. Some people hate this time of year, when sun-filled…
