Identification hospital wristbands
Published June 5, 2023 09:40
They are placed on the patient's hands or other areas. They are used to identify the patient and his/her current therapeutic needs such as illness, medications used, treatments required, etc.
So far, bar codes have been used, but an amendment to the Patients' Rights Act proposes putting names, surnames and dates of birth on hospital wristbands.
If barcode readers were available everywhere in a hospital, the code alone would probably be sufficient.
Adding additional information to it that is readable without additional code-reading equipment increases patient and health care worker safety.
It seems reasonable to consider leaving barcodes / a huge amount of money was spent for this purpose, see the budget of the Ministry of Digitization.
It is correct in the project to add legibly the first name of the surname and an identifier other than the date of birth.
When I have a 49-year-old patient and a 54-year-old patient with the same name, the date of birth in a rapid treatment situation is useless to me.
The explanatory memorandum to the bill under discussion proposes that the patient's name be written in a smaller font in order to protect RODO, as this will ensure that this data will only be available to health care personnel.
The use of small print in the situation of writing down a name is good as long as there is a central ban on eyeglasses and surreptitious eyeglasses over the age of 30 working in the hospital.
How about writing the name in Sumerian transcript.
Other additional identifying information may also vary depending on the treatment unit, its specialties and functions.
It seems that here one should leave a free hand to the individual and trust in the wits of its employees.
Any top-down manual controls are good, but only at colonies, when Jasio stabs Sophie with a fork and the colony manager bans all children from using forks.
