Zebra Technologies
Corporation ZBRA, a recognized global leader in barcode technologies
that improve patient safety and workflow processes, today announced a new
group purchasing agreement with the Premier healthcare alliance to offer
LaserBand's proprietary patient identification (ID) wristbands to their
members. In addition, Premier ASCEND members have also selected Zebra as a
supplier for LaserBand wristbands.
"For healthcare professionals, accurate and easy-to-scan barcode wristbands
are essential to protect patients and streamline processes, especially as
healthcare organizations transition to electronic health records," said David
Freshwater, director of contract sales at LaserBand. "We view our continuing
relationship with Premier as validation of Zebra's technology solutions which
help improve processes, reduce errors and increase the quality of patient
care."
Effective February 1, 2013, Zebra's LaserBand wristbands are now available at
specially negotiated pricing and terms to Premier's nationwide alliance of
2,700 hospitals, 90,000 healthcare organizations including its more than 100
ASCEND member hospitals and health systems. With Zebra's industry-leading
LaserBand wristband solutions, healthcare professionals can easily create a
patient wristband and link critical information from the patient's bedside to
his medical record as well as the pharmacy, lab or other hospital departments
through the use of a barcode. While this streamlined process can improve
patient safety and care, it also can help with compliance to regulatory
requirements and increase staff satisfaction through improved processes and
more quality time with the patient.
Zebra is committed to providing healthcare organizations with technology
solutions that address their needs, such as patient safety and quality of
care, efficient work processes and visibility into patient care and
operations.
