DAYTON, Ohio--April 22, 2002--Standard Register charters new territory with its Positive Patient Identification System (Patient ID). Lexmark has created a new category on the Lexmark Converter List--Specialty Media for the Optra T series of Lexmark printers--in recognition of the performance of Standard Register's Patient ID solution on Lexmark Laser printers. The Patient ID wristband product is the only wristband label product proven to have a consistent and reliable performance on Lexmark printers. SR's Patient ID solution includes a laser-printable wristband and label combination. After processing, the wristbands contain human-readable and bar-coded information that can be scanned to identify the patient and ensure proper medication and billing. The wristband product is an integral part of an end-to-end solution designed to save time, eliminate errors, reduce costs and increase controls. "Patient admissions are a mission-critical process to virtually all healthcare facilities, and our positive patient solution is designed to accomplish this function with the highest standard of accuracy, efficiency and overall cost-effectiveness," said Eric Buchroeder, director of marketing for Standard Register Label Solutions.
