Medical records that carry a printed label incorporating a bar code are a more reliable way to ensure that each patient's record can be uniquely identified and tracked. In a busy outpatients' department, it is not unusual for their to be two patients attending who have similar names. Cross-checking a bar code ensures that records do not get put into the wrong folder and it is quicker and more accurate check than one done purely visual.
Laboratory specimens need to be accurately identified. Scanning the bar code on the patient's record, or the wristband if on the ward, ensures that the full and correct data can be transferred to the specimen label automatically. Zebra printers are a convenient way of producing the labels at any location in the hospital.
Medication administration can be both time-consuming and risky. With a mobile printer the pharmacist can label a patient's personal medication on the nursing floor, which saves time walking back to the pharmacy. The hospital pharmacy can also print unit-of-use bar code labels to provide a full audit trail.
