Today’s hospitals rely on more than the hard work and determination of dedicated professionals to treat their patients: they require innovative hardware and software systems to save money, increase efficiency, and decrease the risks of human error. When a medical facility needs an automated solution for milk bank inventory tracking, pharmaceutical distribution control, or even a quick and coordinated method for patient identification, they can comfortably turn to barcoding technologies. However, even the most tightly controlled machines aren’t infallible! To safeguard against any possible mistakes, reliable systems need an advanced built-in failsafe. Ensuring accuracy is especially important when patient tracking is involved.
Paragon Data Systems recognized the need for secure medical applications more than 15 years ago when we began developing our SafeBaby® Feed Management System. Today, that first effort has grown into a robust line of comprehensive patient identification and tracking solutions that improve treatment outcomes of both children and adults.
Giving your clients the correct medications is of paramount importance; obviously, no caregiver wants to put their patient or their hospital at risk! But when patients are moved between doctors, floors, or even entire buildings, knowing where they, having access to their most recent charting information, and printing new wristbands or labels with this data can be difficult. Our Identi+Health System was created to provide a flexible, yet accurate way to identify and label patients no matter how many times their admittance status changes. Using the latest in barcode identification products, this system empowers caregivers to create labels on-demand wherever they choose, encompassing chart labeling, wristband printing, and of course, positive patient identification while optimizing overall medical facility workflows.
Hitting Requirements without Compromising Efficiency
The Identi-Health System distributes printing throughout the health network, allowing caregivers the ability to recreate labels without accessing their admitting system. Duplicate labels can print right at our label reprint stations simply by scanning an existing label.
However, Identi+Health isn’t just efficient: it fully conforms to safety and compliance standards. The Joint Commission mandates that two identifiers (excluding the patient’s room number) be used whenever administering blood products or medications, taking specimens and blood samples for clinical testing, or providing any other treatments or procedures. To exceed these requirements, the Identi+Health System employs a number of safeguards to confirm the identity of each patient before treatment is given.
Our product offers:
- Soft wristbands for sensitive patients and infants
- Scanning solutions that pair with any EMR hardware
- Reliable, durable wristbands for non-sensitive, minor and adult patients
- Glove-friendly adhesives for specimen and chart labels
- Chart labels that feature sample identification & supplemental vial data
- Color-coded wristbands for Allergy & Infectious Indicators
Paired with all of these identifiers is the customized software and quality hardware powerhouses that make the system work. Paragon provides Mobile computers, scanners, and printers from Zebra Technologies for the best readable output.
Identi+Health Adapts to YOU
Paragon knows that every healthcare system has its own challenges and needs. Identi+Health is built to meet these needs no matter what EMR or admitting system is being used. If you aren’t sure whether your medical facility could implement this system, give us a call at 800.211.0768 or send us an email and our system experts will talk you through Identi+Health’s benefits and compatibility requirements.
