| Patient Wristbanding:
5 Reasons Why Hospitals Should Choose a Thermal Print Solution
Bar code systems help hospitals deliver accurate
information in a variety of patient care and clinical settings, making
them an important component in improving patient safety and process efficiency.
Therefore, these systems should be developed and executed with care, using
dedicated printers that are optimized to provide reliable, accurate bar
code output.
When hospitals evaluate their patient wristbanding
solution, they often consider modifying existing laser printing systems
to do the job. While many laser printers are capable of outputting bar
codes, dedicated thermal printers are a more convenient and cost-effective
option.
This white paper will explain the differences
in thermal versus laser printing for patient wristbanding in hospitals
and will provide an overview of the five reasons thermal printing is a
better solution.
