ALERT BANDS® The Healthcare community has recognized the urgent need for standardized color code indicators to identify special risk patients. Reports from staff members using color code indicators demonstrate a high satisfaction rate, providing a positive impact on patient safety. PDC’s Alert Bands® and Ident-AlertTM Snaps feature highly visible, color-specific identification alerts to warn caregivers of special precautions. They’re a quick, easy and cost effective way to meet state standardization. Many states have already implemented standardization protocols. Does your hospital have a standardized system? Go to www.alertbands.com today to view important state information color coding initiatives that may affect your hospital.
ALERT BANDS® Meet these Joint Commission Patient Safety Goals & Standards Goal #1: Improve the accuracy of patient identification. Goal #2: Improve the effectiveness of communication among caregivers. Goal #9: Reduce the risk of patient harm resulting from falls. Goal #13: Encourage patients’ active involvement in their own care as a patient safety strategy.
All PDC Alert Bands® are latex-free and some are available with custom imprinting.

Does your healthcare organization have a standardized system for buying wristbands and/or labels? Are employees ordering the same products from different vendors, leaving your organization unaware of how much it is buying, from whom, and for how much? When it comes to purchasing products in the healthcare industry, it is not uncommon for individual departments to make their own decisions and use multiple vendors. Staff may unknowingly order expensive custom products over low-price stock items. This creates a supply chain and accounting dilemma that costs hospitals up to millions of dollars per year! Contact Precision Dynamics today to learn about our PowerPlusTM Purchasing Program. It provides a powerful combination of cost savings and consolidation with a seamless conversion process to centralize wristband and label purchases for your healthcare organization. Customers have saved up to 30% per year!
