You can now generate laser printed armbands with or without bar codes that print out automatically at Patient Registration along with face sheets and other chart or financial forms. If the armband needs to be replaced or updated in areas such as a nursing floor, Medirex has an application which reads the barcode and prints any form with the patient's demographics. The nurse selects the patient and item required, such as armbands, additional labels, chart forms, and the laser printer of choice. All items print out automatically on demand. The process is guaranteed to reduce costs and eliminate identification errors.

The Benefits of Laser Printed Armbands:

• Positive Patient ID for Medication Administration
• Positive ID reduces risk of treating the wrong patient
• Legible, easy-to-read
• Preprinted labels for forms and specimen identification
• Ideal for all types of patient visits
• Fits all wrist sizes
• Water resistant
• Easy to use 1-2-3 step
• Cost effective compared to traditional wristbands

Benefits when used for barcoding clinical forms and records:

When paper documents are stored to an Electronic Patient Record, accurate and automatic indexing requires barcoding of Encounter (Visit) Number, Patient Number, Health Number, Date and Time on the form.

Why your facility needs barcoded clinical documents:

1. When paper documents are scanned to an Electronic Patient Record, accurate and automated indexing requires a bar code of Account #, Medical Record #, Transaction ID, and Date on the form.

2. Specialty Armbands identify: Adults, Mother/Baby/Significant Other, Pediatric Patients in Admitting, in the ER and on the floor.
