Our positive patient identification point-of-care applications enable caregivers to positively identify patients using wireless barcode technology, verify the sample being collected for that patient is right, print required labels for samples, and when blood is transfused, ensure that the component is the one intended for that patient. Sunquest's solutions have helped customers reduce specimen-labeling errors to zero occurrences, even in high-pressure Emergency Departments where the risk of a mislabeled sample may be as much as 10 times higher than other nursing units.
Sunquest technology enables you to take better care of your patients
Added to the benefit of error reduction, the system also dramatically reduces the turnaround times between the time the order is placed and the time the laboratory result is available on the electronic chart. Because the system communicates directly with your electronic order entry system and the laboratory system, reduces the number of steps in the process, and eliminates errors that hold up processing, patient treatment can be expedited.
You'll also save valuable staff time by eliminating errors and the need for follow-up investigations, reporting and corrective actions. Our customers report up to 14 hours of precious time lost in following up on an error resulting from previous manual, uncontrolled processes.
Best of all, when they experience your commitment in taking precautions on their behalf, your patients and their loved ones will have more confidence in their care.
