The barcodes, which will be read by handheld scanners, are to be issued to patients from October neaxt year under the orders of the Information Standards Board (ISB) for Health and Social Care.
將由手持掃描儀閱讀的條形碼，會從明年10月派發給患者，在衛生和社會保健的信息準則委員會（ISB）的指命下。
By next April trusts have must plans on how they will implement the change-over.
到明年4月信託有必須計劃他們將如何實施改變。
The ISB is imposing the rule to cut down on the number of avoidable errors like patients being given the wrong medication.

Studies show they can stop such administrative errors by 42 per cent, according to Franck Riout of Zebra Technologies, which makes barcoding systems for NHS trusts.

Peter Walsh, chief executive of the campaign group Action Against Medical Accidents, said: "It's a good move. Patient misidentification is a recurring problem and there is a need for more consistency with wristbands across the NHS.


"Having the same procedures in every NHS hospital will prevent a number of avoidable incidents from causing harm and even worse."

The Patients Association also welcomed them - although the pressure group was a little concerned patients could end up feeling like products rather than people.

Katherine Murphy, its chief executive, said: "Looking for new and innovative ways to improve patient safety should be a top priority for all healthcare providers.

"The introduction of these barcoded wristbands could improve patient safety by making sure that mistakes do not happen.

"However, care must be taken to ensure they do not become a barrier to communication with patients.

"We do not want to end up in a situation where patients are scanned like an item in a supermarket.

"Healthcare professionals using these barcoded wristbands should make sure that they make every effort to talk to the patient and treat them with the respect that all people deserve.”

The project, originally proposed by the Department of Health and the National Patient Safety Authority in 2007, has been put back several times. The original deadline set by the ISB was July 2011.

英國病人戴上條碼手環 防止誤診給錯藥
2007/03/28 00:25

英國一家醫院從兩年前開始，把超市使用的電子條碼系統，應用在病人身上，院方讓病人戴上條碼手環之後，沒有再發生看錯病人開錯藥的烏龍。

醫護人員拿出條碼掃描器,往病人手腕上一掃.電腦立刻,顯示出病人的名字,照片,以及詳細的病歷資料.所有資料確認無誤之後.醫護人員就可以繼續下一個治療程序.

條碼手環可以確保不會發生誤診的差錯

譬如給錯藥之類的疏失

或是輸錯血 開錯刀

根據統計2004年到2005年一年之間.英國出現一百萬件醫療疏失.嚴重的還導致病人死亡.
