Patient Safety Begins with Proper and Continuous Patient Identification
To err may be human, but certain mistakes can be prevented. Patient misidentification is the root cause of many medical errors, and hospitals are beginning to understand the importance of selecting the right patient wristband and implementing clear patient identification procedures to prevent those errors.
There are many things to consider when evaluating and selecting a wristband for your facility and developing your patient identification-related policies and procedures. In most cases, multiple departments will be involved in the decision-making process and will be instrumental in the day-to-day use of the product.
With so many things to consider and so many wristband choices, it is important to evaluate your own needs for the best patient identification solution that fits your circumstances. St. John can help you evaluate which solution will help you achieve your objectives. |
