Emergency Department & Disaster Wristbands

Emergency Departments are used to dealing with large numbers of acutely ill and often anonymous patients (Jane/John Doe). When anonymous patients arrive in the emergency department, caregivers need a quick, easy and effective way to identify them and accurately link their belongings, forms, lab specimens and other related items to them correctly.

Emergency department and disaster response wristbands help you:

  • Identify patients who need the most immediate medical attention
  • Triage patients to various areas of the hospital
  • Quickly and easily link lab specimens and forms to individual patients
  • Safely identify patients without requiring registration of John/Jane Does that result in multiple entries requiring MPI clean-up
  • Account for the personal belongings of each patient

St. John is the only company that offers a unique wristband that is perfect for emergency department use. These wristbands enable quick and easy assignment of unique, pre-numbered patient ID’s from which labels can be generated on demand directly from the patient's ID band. Labels are generated directly from a pre-embossed tag on the wristband using a small label printer that is not dependent on wireless systems or electricity and that is inexpensive enough to keep handy throughout the department. The labels create an easy and accurate way to ensure a patient’s belongings, forms and lab specimens are properly linked to the correct patient.
