Datalogic to Exhibit Series of Handheld Patient Data Collectors


As healthcare in the United States gets ever more complicated and expansive – the Affordable Care Act that mandates health coverage for all Americans, coupled with an aging population will see to that – it becomes ever more critical to keep comprehensive records and tracking of patient lifecycles from first contact with a healthcare provider through treatment through resolution.

Today, healthcare organizations are using bar code scanning systems to advance patient safety from admittance to post care services. With the ability to capture data, bar code scanning has revolutionized the way hospitals collect information.

Now, error-prone manual process can be eliminated to improve patient safety and patient care, as well as the productivity of medical teams.

Datalogic, a solutions provider in what’s known as Automatic Data Capture (AIDC), will soon be exhibiting its series of advanced data capture solutions that address patient safety, at an event in New Orleans next week.

The Gryphon series of healthcare handheld scanners advance hospital data collection by allowing hospital staff to collect data from bar codes. The Gryphon healthcare product series is specifically developed for healthcare applications and have two layers of protection against the spread of infection.

Gryphon scanners have disinfectant-ready enclosures designed to withstand daily cleaning with harsh disinfectant solutions. These products are also manufactured with Anti-Microbial additives that inhibit the growth of micro-organisms on the enclosure itself, earning Datalogic the ISO22196 certification.

The Gryphon devices are available in either corded or cordless models, depending on a healthcare facility’s needs.

“We are excited to offer a solution advancing patient safety twofold: first with automatic data capture to improve patient care and reduce medical errors and now with a bar code reader that helps to defeat the transfer of bacteria,” stated Bill Parnell, President and CEO, Datalogic ADC. “The Gryphon Healthcare series will not only protect patients and employees, but also healthcare technology investments with years of reliable performance.”
