Enhance Safety by Facilitating Positive Patient Identification
If your hospital is like many healthcare organizations, you’ve adopted several systems that improve safety by encouraging positive patient identification (PPID). However, your PPID initiative may be lacking a vital component: forms and wristband barcoding and automation.
Access’s Patient Labeling System (PLS) - part of the industry-leading Access Intelligent Forms Suite (IFS) - enables registration clerks at the front desk and in the emergency department and specialty clinics to print barcoded forms and wristbands with two-dimensional barcodes the moment a patient is registered in the health information system. With PLS, your facility can:
- Output barcoded forms and wristbands at the point of admission with minimal user effort
- Replace error-prone and time-consuming data entry with direct porting of forms into the document management system
- Improve the availability of current and accurate patient data at patients’ bedsides, nursing stations and in other clinical areas
- Reduce the risk of harm to patients and legal action that can be caused by errors resulting from incorrect patient identification
- Boost registrar productivity by eliminating the need to manually affix barcodes
- Speed patient registration
