Identi-Match™ Laboratory
Positive Patient ID Scanning & Labeling System
Patient safety is a growing concern throughout hospitals and healthcare facilities around the country. One way to enhance patient safety is by making sure that patient laboratory samples are properly identified and labeled. Surprisingly large numbers of errors in diagnosis and treatment occur every day because specimens are mis-labeled or unlabeled when they reach the laboratory. With the advent of barcoded wristbands, the opportunity to create accurate labels for identifying patient specimens is enhanced through the use of simple technology. Pre-labeled tubes and specimen containers and reaching for pre-printed labels from a patient’s chart can lead to mistakes that can lead to disastrous results. Identi-Match™ Laboratory creates labels at the patient’s bedside eliminating the risk of errors associated with misidentified specimens and patients.
Identi-Match benefits everyone. Hospital executives, caregivers and patients will rest easier knowing that patient safety is being safeguarded when Identi-Match is used. It’s a sure way to improve outcomes and generate the kind of results everyone wants. St. John is working
on new modules to extend to Blood Bank, pharmacy
and other department that will easily be linked to this
modular system, making the product affordable and scalable. Hospitals of all sizes can benefit from this system without worrying about going beyond their
capital and operational budgets. |
