A well-functioning health service is the basis of an efficient society. Just like every area of life, technological progress is an indispensable element here, the aim of which is to increase the standard of patient service. Behind this is both the quality of service and, above all, safety - that is minimizing failures and errors, which as we know are an indispensable element wherever there is a human factor. Technological advances through digitization have drastically reduced the number of errors and made us a step closer to the ideal, infallible healthcare - thanks to the field of AutoID.
Zebra Technologies offers a wide range of devices covering each sector of health care, where it is necessary to efficiently and precisely mark and recognize individual elements. From the patient's point of view, the first place of contact with AutoID is at the registration point, where the patient can get a personalized wristband, such as the Z-Band UltraSoft. This band, after being printed on a dedicated printer, contains all the necessary patient data along with the 1D or 2D code, which contains secret, more detailed information available to the staff of the medical facility using a barcode scanner or a terminal with a built-in scanner.
Auto ID is an indispensable element in every corner of the hospital. Starting from the registration point, through the laboratory, warehouses, operating rooms, postoperative rooms and the technical department. Individual elements marked with codes are easy to register and significantly reduce the time needed for reliable identification.
A modern hospital equipped with AutoID solutions includes:
- Always correct patient identification,
- The correct medication given to the patient,
- No expired drugs / substances in stock,
- Easy communication between staff,
Reading 1D and 2D codes and efficient communication
Zebra's offer includes a number of terminals for medical personnel. The terminals resemble classic smartphones in appearance and operation, while the functions they offer are much more extensive and adapted to the needs of health care. The main feature that distinguishes the Healthcare series terminals is the antibacterial coating, resistant to all the most popular disinfectants. This solution both protects the device against damage and has a positive effect on maintaining sterile conditions.
The terminals are additionally equipped with a visible, red button located on the back of the housing. It is used for emergency notification of the rest of the staff about an event or the need to call for help.
Zebra devices come with a pre-installed suite of applications, including Workforce Connect ™ PTT Express, which allows you to use the terminal like a walkie-talkie, ensuring continuous communication with the rest of your staff.
