Patient identifier wristbands are ideal for hospitals, clinics and even senior citizen homes. The hospital patient ID wristband contains a barcode, which can easily be scanned using a barcode scanner. The band provides important health care information such as: patient's name, previous conditions, allergies, what type of medicine should be administered and medicine dosage. Hospitals which have started using such wristbands have noted that they eliminate the possibility of making medical errors and help nurses and doctors accurately keep track of a patient's condition.
