However, even the most accurate specimen will fail to do good if matched with the wrong patient. With over seven billion specimens collected per year, the average 1:300 error rate can be detrimental to both patient health and healthcare efficiency. To mitigate specimen collection error, healthcare specialists recommend tracking three common risks hiding in your hospital:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Poor staff\ncommunication channels &#8211; Efficient care relies on committed collaboration\nbetween staff. Conducting on-site assessment and project management services,\nBarcodes, Inc. works with you to implement secured communication channels and\nspecimen labeling that\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s compliant with HIPAA standards. <\/li><li>Complicated data\ncollection software &#8211; Complex software can erase manual data entry but not its\nerrors. Designing tailored software that fits your workflow, Barcodes, Inc\nsimplifies data collection and sharing.<\/li><li>Unclear specimen\nvisibility &#8211; As specimens are re-labeled throughout the lab, Barcodes Inc.\nsimplifies specimen processing with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.barcodesinc.com\/zebra\/ds8100-hc.htm\">Zebra\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s DS8100 healthcare-grade scanner<\/a> to accelerate streamlined data capture,\nmaximizing overall visibility.
