Patient ID bands - too easy to remove
Submitted by Carol Higley on Thu, 11/09/2006 - 16:06. :: Hardware
We are using laser patient ID bands that are printed thru Registration. The problem we have encountered is that patients are removing them while still a patient. Apparently they are finding these very easy to remove compared to the old ones that had the snaps. Have any of you experienced this issue and have you found a solution?
If you are using the laser printed bands what vendor and manufacturer are you using?
