High-Performance ID-Band Solutions

Accurate and trustworthy patient identification is essential to safety. Misidentification can lead to serious consequences, such as incorrect treatment or medication administration. Your healthcare system needs identification wristbands that scan effectively and reliably to ensure safe and timely care for every patient. That is why you can trust Zebra wristbands for patient identification

At Advanced Automation, we have found Zebra thermal or laser hospital wristbands to be optimal for patient identification accuracy and operational efficiency. Zebra patient wristbands identified more than 382.8 million patients globally in 2018. Today, the Zebra ZD510-HC Wristband Printing Solution is one of the most durable, comfortable, and simple-to-use direct-print thermal wristbands on the market.

Let’s explore how Zebra patient identification wristbands can help your healthcare system deliver the highest standards of care.

Enhancing Patient ID-Bands
through Advanced Technology

Zebra’s trusted wristband technology supports barcoding and scanning to improve accuracy in patient identification. Healthcare providers can quickly and efficiently scan a barcode to retrieve a patient’s medical history, medication schedule, and other important data. Because they ensure software-validated patient identity throughout the length of care, Zebra wristbands eliminate the need for manual data entry, reduce the risk of human error, and allow staff to provide the right care to the right patient every time.

Barcode scanning systems are increasingly common in hospitals and clinics, and Zebra’s wristbands seamlessly integrate into these systems. As patient safety is closely tied to timely and accurate access to information, these wristbands play a key role in creating a smoother workflow in hospitals. From emergency rooms to maternity wards to long-term care facilities, Zebra wristbands provide reliable patient information at a moment’s notice.

ID-Band Durability & Reliability
in a Clinical Setting

In a healthcare setting, patients are frequently exposed to a wide variety of substances, including hand sanitizers, soaps, and water, all of which can degrade traditional identification methods like paper wristbands. Zebra’s wristbands are specifically engineered and proven to withstand exposure to such substances while maintaining legibility and scannability throughout a patient’s stay in the hospital.

Plus, healthcare providers can print barcodes, text, and graphics directly onto Zebra wristbands using Zebra’s thermal and laser printable options, further improving their functionality and reliability. The ZD510-HC Wristband Printing Solution, designed for use in Zebra’s market-leading thermal printers, is one of the most durable thermal wristbands available, as confirmed by outside laboratory tests

Versatility to Meet a Range
of Patient Needs

Hospitals cater to a wide variety of patients—from general patient population to labor and delivery, to neo-natal to outpatient services, and everything in between. Each group has unique identification needs. Zebra wristbands are designed to meet this range of requirements, offering solutions tailored to different patient groups. For example, newborns and maternity patients need wristbands that are soft and gentle, yet strong enough to stay securely fastened during the course of treatment.

Zebra wristbands are adjustable to fit the smallest of infants to the largest of adults. They also come in a range of colors and styles, including wristbands with RFID technology for added security. These options ensure that healthcare facilities can select the right wristband for the specific patient population they are serving. Thus, further enhancing your ability to provide personalized, safe care.

Improving Operational Efficiency
in Healthcare

Zebra wristbands also enhance operational efficiency in hospitals and healthcare facilities. The ability to scan a wristband to access a patient’s information reduces time spent searching through records. This can be particularly important in emergency situations where every second counts.

Plus, Zebra wristbands reduce the chance of mix-ups in medication administration, a significant safety concern in hospitals. Barcodes printed on the wristbands can be linked directly to a patient’s prescribed medications. Thus, ensuring that the right patient receives the correct dose of the correct drug at the right time. This enables healthcare providers to focus on delivering the best care possible, while reducing errors and increasing efficiency.
