Specimen Collection
Patient Identification Check is a positive patient identification solution for collecting laboratory specimens. It supports nurse and lab-based phlebotomy workflows. Using barcode technology, specimens are labeled and printed at the bedside, helping to standardize the process and reduce the human element in specimen collection errors.
- Helps the enterprise to reduce the potential for mislabeling specimens – Process standardization, barcoding, and bedside label printing help the provider improve specimen collection accuracy. Using Patient Identification Check, Jackson-Madison County General Hospital and MedCentral Health System have significantly reduced specimen collection errors.
- Help meet Joint Commission patient safety goals – Siemens incorporates identifiers – patient, healthcare provider, and specimen containers – to label sample collection containers in the presence of the patient.
- Helps increase lab productivity and collection efficiency – There is less need to re-label samples in the lab. Patient Identification Check helps monitor quality and workflow and reduce bottlenecks when the lab receives specimens, resulting in quicker turnaround on test results.
- Provides reporting which helps the clinician to monitor up to date collection information - Patient Identification Check works with departmental solutions like NOVIUS® Lab to help the enterprise in optimizing their workflow processes.
