Improve Patient Safety with Reliable Positive Patient Identification

Patient safety begins with accurate identification. Positive Patient Identification helps reduce patient mismatch errors and improve traceability by ensuring the right patient is matched with the right care throughout their healthcare journey.

Bar Code Data provides complete solutions combining patient wristbands, specialist wristband printers, barcode scanning and healthcare labelling technology, with integration into existing hospital systems.

Patient Wristband Solutions

Patient wristbands provide a secure, reliable method of identification from admission through to treatment, specimen collection, medication administration and discharge.

  • Our healthcare wristband range includes:
  • Adult, paediatric and neonatal wristbands
  • Direct thermal wristbands
  • Cartridge, roll and sheet formats
  • Ultra-soft wristbands for improved patient comfort
  • Long-life and colour-coded allergy alert wristbands
  • RFID wristbands for identification and real-time tracking

Designed for demanding healthcare environments, our wristbands resist moisture, hand sanitisers and smudging, helping patient information and barcodes remain clear and scannable throughout use.

Integrated Patient Identification

Our solutions can integrate with Patient Administration Systems (PAS), Electronic Patient Records (EPR), Electronic Health Records (EHR) and Hospital Information Systems (HIS), enabling accurate patient information to be captured and printed when required.

We can also provide wristband solutions that support GS1 standards and DCB1077 guidance, incorporating GS1 DataMatrix barcodes to support patient identification, traceability and interoperability across clinical systems.

Healthcare Wristband Printers

Bar Code Data supplies specialist wristband printers from leading manufacturers including Zebra Technologies and Brother, providing reliable, on-demand patient identification across hospitals, laboratories and other healthcare environments.

Healthcare printing solutions can include disinfectant-ready designs, simple media loading, flexible connectivity and integration with existing hospital systems.

The Zebra ZD510-HC, for example, combines simple cartridge-based wristband printing with disinfectant-ready construction for reliable use in clinical environments.
