Executive Summary

The healthcare industry has undergone a wide range of regulatory changes, patient safety challenges and third-party pressures to improve identifying patients, medications and procedures. The Food & Drug Administration (FDA) issued regulations providing FDA acceptance criteria for electronic signatures, data tracking, as well as patient and laboratory specimen identification.

To streamline, automate, and improve accuracy within the healthcare market, regulatory personnel turned to the automatic identification industry for help. Leveraging the wide range of benefits bar coding has brought to other industries, the healthcare industry quickly sought to implement and benefit from the universal bar code labeling tool.

This white paper illustrates how healthcare identification solutions provided by Niceware International enable healthcare providers to solve some of the most difficult identification and tracking problems. Niceware has developed a variety of solutions to improve automatic identification in the following areas:

Positive Patient Identification with automated bar code and RFID wristband printing.

  • Offline Patient Wristband Generation with data archiving for later file reconciliation with the parent database.
  • Bedside Specimen Collection Identification with data scanning and verification off the patient's wristband and blood collection sample.
  • Laboratory Specimen Identification to drive printer cassettes and slide printing systems to uniquely identify specimen in laboratories.
  • HIS application integration through Health Level 7 (HL 7) global messaging compliance for patient identification, laboratory orders and more.
