Clinical Care | Portable Printing

By your side

Patient identification at the bedside is of upmost importance to ensure the right care is administered. It is essential that an efficient and accurate barcode and labelling workflow is in place to minimise errors from poorly labelled samples and wristbands.

Studies have revealed that;

"17% of mistakes in blood administration in Germany over a four-year period were down to patient identification errors, 4 leading in the worst cases to patients receiving the wrong blood transfusions."

Furthermore

"A UK government commissioned study has revealed that an estimated 237 million medication errors occur in the NHS in England every year, and avoidable adverse drug reactions (ADRs) cause hundreds of deaths."

This is why a Brother portable desktop solution could minimise the risk in your healthcare establishment.

Typical applications include:

Patient wristbands

Print and apply at the patient's bedside

Blood sample labels

Up to 2 inch

Blood bag labels

Up to 4 inch

Care where it's needed most

Our Brother TD-2000 2 inch series has a whole host of benefits for nurses, enabling them to optimise their healthcare operations and maintain safety for patients.

The range offers both label and wristband printing capabilities so patient samples and ID bands can be printed at the bedside using the same machine. This increases efficiency whilst also reducing the risk of errors being made.

Furthermore, the rechargeable battery pack and neat design with a minimal footprint size mean it can be easily stored on a cart, busy counter or virtually anywhere within the healthcare environment.

Patient safety is at the forefront of all caregivers priorities. The implications of poorly labelled files and wristbands and illegible documentation is costly not only to the patient but to the healthcare establishment as well. Whether it's incorrect treatment or the wasted time of staff on site, Brother explored the wider reaching problems that patient ID errors can cause.

"We must respect the rules and regulations regarding patient identification. We have to track all patients' identities to deliver the right medical health care for all administrative tasks."
