Why Do Inpatient Care Facilities Use Patient Wristbands?
It is PROVEN to Reduce Errors in Workflow.
Let's Ensure the Same Safety, Without Hindering Patient Experience.
A Smarter, Safer Patient Identifier — Without the Wristband
In infusion centers, medication errors are among the most serious risks—they can lead to patient harm, staff liability, payer audits, and potential loss of accreditation. That’s why the 4U Medical Kiosk prints a patented medical-grade IV bag sticker that serves as a unique patient ticket — improving safety and providing the same value as a wristband without the annoyance.
How It Works
-
After check-in, the kiosk prints a patient-specific label — their “ticket.” It includes:
-
Full patient name
-
Date of birth
-
Unique patient ID
-
Medication being administered
-
Optional QR code linking to digital instructions, reviews, or entertainment
-
-
The patient carries this ticket with them, serving as their visual and physical identifier.
-
Right before administration, a nurse verifies the ticket, confirms the medication, and transfers the label to the IV bag.
-
The label is partially adhesive — designed to stick securely without covering details.
Why This Matters
-
Reduces Risk of Medication Error
A misidentified patient or incorrect drug can have life-threatening consequences — and significant legal or financial consequences for your center. -
Introduces a Safety Layer Where None Exists
Most ambulatory infusion centers do not use wristbands or barcoded wrist scanning. This sticker acts as a lightweight, workflow-friendly solution. -
Empowers Staff with Instant Visual Verification
Care team staff can match the bag, patient, and treatment in seconds — no miscommunication and reduced human error. -
Documents Accountability and Clarity
The ticket is easy reference or re-check. It keeps visual identity tied to the patient and bag — not just the EMR.
