Prevent Errors With Point Of Care Labelling

May 2020

Labelling blood and other samples at the time they are collected improves patient safety and helps prevent a host of problems related to misidentification. Misidentified specimen samples create a serious risk to patient safety and can result in misdiagnosis or incorrect treatment. With Zebra’s mobile devices and printers, healthcare workers can print labels at the point of care and perform a three-point check that confirms the links between specimen collection order, the patient wristband and the labelled container.
