Medical ID RFID Wristband Improves Patient Safety and Comfort

Medical ID RFID Wristband Improves Patient Safety and Comfort - HUAYUAN RFID

For the management system of hospital patients, medical wristbands or bracelets are one of the important carriers.

In the past, hospitals usually use disposable paper-printed bracelets with handwritten or printed barcodes to store information such as patient names and admission time. When checking or infusing the patient, the doctor can scan the bar code and information on the wristband to check whether there is an error.

However, barcodes must be aligned one by one before they can be scanned. Each patient scans one by one, which has a certain impact on the efficiency of medical treatment. The information by handwritten were checked visually, which takes long time and easily makes mistakes. Therefore, it is difficult to completely avoid misunderstandings or misjudgments due to similar information, which leads to medical accidents.

Barcode Wristbands VS RFID ID Wristbands

With the continuous advancement of medical reforms in recent years, the continuous improvement of people’s health awareness, requirements for medical efficiency and medical service quality, more and more hospitals of all levels have gradually adopted more efficient, accurate, and humane medical management techniques and measures, to improve the appearance of medical services and the relationship between doctors and patients.

RFID technology attracts the attention of hospitals in all regions and levels. RFID technology not only effectively used in the hospital equipment management, but also in patient management. RFID technology implementation takes a step forward in achieving intelligent medical care. Compared with the old medical wristbands, RFID ID wristbands have obvious advantages in applications, like:

1, The information of handwritten or printed barcode bracelet cannot be modified. The bracelet is a disposable product and cannot be reused, which increases the burden of medical waste, and affects the realization of modern and eco-friendly medical development.

The medical RFID ID wristband can be rewritten. The data stored in the RFID chip can be added, modified, and deleted countless times. It is convenient for updating information and can also achieve barrier-free reading.

2, Traditional barcode wristband is easily damaged. If the information is damaged or unclear, it will seriously affect the usage, and waste time and resources to replace and write again.

Since the data stored in the RFID chip, the RFID wristband’s surface will not affect information reading. As long as there is no internal damage, it can be recycled for several years.

3, RFID wristband receives and feeds back information through its internal RFID tag, and can also be encrypted and protected, so the information is effectively protected and not easily leaked, which protects the privacy of patients and the information security of the hospital.

4, In the past, barcode wristbands had to be scanned and read one by one with a device to obtain information. They could not be recognized by mobile phones, and their monitoring capabilities were relatively weak. The medical RFID wristband can monitor whether the patient is in the ward through the ability of remote reading and multi-tag group reading, which can realize regional positioning management, so that medical treatment can be better intelligently managed, more convenient, and reduce the personnel cost and reach the paperless e-work etc
