Identifications of Patients

Special electronic chip (RFID - radio frequency identification) identification bracelets are among the new items on our market. The bracelets serve to identify patients in health care facilities. The electronic identification form helps health care facilities simplify procedures, save work efforts and time and prevent mistakes in processing data. The chip can be programmed according to the health care facilities' requirements; the system is highly flexible and can be modified. A solid, portable RFID reader connected to a central computer is used to read data from the bracelet. The bracelets are available in several data formats. The bracelets are available in several colors and can be reprinted with a logo and other information. The bracelets are protected against transfer to another patient. Protection consists in the destruction of the snap closure or other part of the bracelet if it is removed from a person's arm.   In this way it is immediately apparent if the bracelet was handled.

Security

Increased monitoring of movement in health care facilities is more and more in demand nowadays. The use of RFID chips enables ensuring that only authorized individuals, who have access permission, enter monitored spaces.  These can be patients as well as health care facility employees, visitors or external workers. The identification system can be used to divide building blocks, departments, rooms, common areas, examination rooms, surgery and other spaces. The identification of individuals is also useful during forced evacuation (accident, fire etc.), where it is possible to ascertain how many persons are located in a given place.

Patient services

With the gradual transformation of the health care system, the number of services offered by health care facilities to their patients and employees is increasing. RFID systems enable precise record keeping of services used and their subsequent billing. These can be different entries of extra care, the sale of extra items in the dining room, issue of beverages from beverage machines, non-cash purchases in cafeterias and other services.  Extensive options for use can be expected for patients with long-term or repeated hospitalization.

Perfection of Health Care

RFID systems offer the greatest possibilities for use in this field. Electronic identification is a precise tool, which reduces mistakes due to the human factor. Its main advantages are:

  • Visual differentiation of patients
  • Quick access to basic patient information
  • Monitoring of patient movements around the facility
  • Increasing the security of individual wards - limiting entry only to patients and personnel
  • Identification of therapeutic tasks performed for a patient (giving medicine, examining, taking samples)
  • Reduction of personnel errors during patient treatment
  • Single-dose issue of pharmaceuticals - the pharmaceutical goes in the designated quantity and assortment directly from the pharmacy to the patient
  • Record-keeping of health care materials used for a specific patient
  • Record-keeping of patient examination for a specific type of equipment
  • Supervision of costs on patients in the field of pharmaceuticals
  • Record-keeping of drawing on auxiliary services
  • and other advantages
