A solution for matching patient’s wristband barcode and corresponding job is provided to Hospital Authority. Staff can use handheld terminal to scan patients’ wristbands and verify the patients’ identity. After the implementation, patient safety is assured and no accident reported. The solution is further deployed to other usage, such as medication. During drugs prescription, nurse can retrieve the information of patient’s wristband from tablet, which recorded the medication list belonged to the patient. The double-check procedure avoids wrong drugs dispense and manual error.
