The Patient ID XPress system provides you with the ability to instantly print the exact number of patient identification labels or wristbands you need anywhere in your facility without connection to your network system. Patient ID XPress™ is a flexible, portable labeling system that prints clear, legible patient identification labels, with or without barcodes, for additional identification and tracking. To print labels and wristbands using this "on-demand" system, simply click a hand-held scanner to receive the labels you need both when and where you need them.

 

More Cost Effective than Laser Sheets

Whenever you print an entire sheet of laser labels and don't use them all, you are wasting money. By printing only the quantity of labels you need (with the simple click of a hand-held scanner), Patient ID XPress™ can save you as much as 50% on the cost of laser printed labels and wristbands as well as reduce the amount you spend on expensive toner cartridges.

Easier for Staff to Use than Printing Laser Labels

Your staff has enough to do without going through a complicated process to print patient labels. Once the Patient ID XPress™ master barcode is generated at registration, simply click a scanner from any location and instantly get patient labels and wristbands. There is no need for staff to perform any log-in procedures, search through patient names, or access a printer. No more wasting time producing labels and wristbands through your hospital's network system. No more hassles transporting labels and wristbands from one area of the hospital to another.

Easy to Install

Patient ID XPress™ requires little or no involvement from your IT department to implement. The small form factor Label and Wristband Stations are standalone and not networked to your system. There is no need for expensive network drops everywhere. The systems are customized for you and shipped ready to use. Plus, the system is expandable and additional stations can be added at any time.

Offline System that Operates 24/7

Because Patient ID Xpress™ is not tied to your network, the system keeps working even when your hospital's information system is down. As long as power is available, everyone in the facility can produce labels and wristbands. Using the keyboard entry feature master labels can be produced even if the network connection is down or unavailable. Since the label and wristband stations are completely independent of the network they will always be available regardless of network status.

Get Labels that are Easy to Read

You can get crisp clear labels and wristbands, with or without barcodes, anytime and anywhere with Patient ID XPress™. No more tracking unreadable imprints on your patient documentation.

Why Should You be Interested in
Patient ID XPress™?

Positive patient identification is not just a hospital's mission but now it is part of a growing legislative mandate for patient safety. This has resulted in the replacement of plastic card embossing and imprinting systems with technology-based barcode systems. Patient ID XPress™ provides a simple turnkey solution for implementing barcode wristbands and documentation labeling that has numerous advantages over systems that use laser-printed labels.

How the System Works —It's This Easy!

The Patient ID XPress™ system has three main components: (1) a Data Capture Station that can function both online and offline, (2) Label Stations that print patient labels, and (3) Wristband Stations that print patient wristbands.

Data Capture Station: Registration areas use this device to capture data from the same data stream used to drive embossers. Data Capture Stations have the capability to be used both online and off-line (using a keyboard and display window).  Capture Stations produce a master label with a PDF 417 barcode containing patient information from the data stream.

Label & Wristband Stations: The PDF 417 master label can be scanned by any Label Station or Wristband Station to generate standard patient labels and wristbands.  With this master label, the ability to produce wristbands and labels throughout the facility is never compromised.
