Hospitals aim to provide safe and effective care to all patients. Manual labelling of patient sample collected at the bedside has a negating effect by promoting
- Wrong Blood in Tube events, risking patient safety though incorrect grouping resulting in elevated risks of adverse transfusion reactions
- Higher recollect rates with labelling non-compliance, resulting in less time for patient care
- Delayed patient care and inefficient patient progression logs due to extended time recollecting samples
- Erosion in patient confidence due to repeat blood sampling, which can have a negative impact on hospital standing
