Healthcare Solutions by GSM Barcoding
Healthcare Administration Automation
Auto-ID healthcare solutions employ barcoding and RFID data capture technologies to improve productivity and accuracy in healthcare environments, such as hospitals and clinics. Barcodes automate data capture, and when paired with relational database software, they help medical administrators streamline important procedures. Tasks can range from patient admissions and processing, recording specimens and managing medications, stock control and asset tracking.
NHS data capture & tracking
Implementing barcode and RFID technology can significantly enhance patient care right from the moment they arrive at the hospital. By assigning unique barcode wristbands to patients, managers can monitor the process, tracking patient interactions during their visit to the hospital while minimising the risk of medication errors. Furthermore, hospitals and medical professionals can improve specimen recording through barcodes, effectively reducing errors associated with handwritten samples.
Healthcare Mobile Connectivity
In a busy clinical environment, wireless technology enhances patient care by enabling medical personnel to quickly address patients’ needs with access to essential information for making crucial decisions. Mobile communications allow for seamless connections between patients and medical practitioners throughout the hospital and beyond. For medical home visits, such as physiotherapy or district nursing, mobile devices can provide access to information remotely, improving productivity and overall patient care.
Laboratory & Pharmacy Barcoding
The use of variable data barcodes allows for accurate verification and recording of medication dispensing, ensuring that the right medication and dosage are provided while simultaneously updating medical records. In pharmacies, barcode technology not only lowers dispensing errors but also accelerates processing times, enabling technicians to access vital information more efficiently. Overall, these advancements in technology lead to smoother operations and improved patient safety.

Frequently Asked Questions
What applications are there in healthcare for barcoding technology?
Barcoding, part of the broader technology of Auto-ID, is increasingly being seen in hospital and clinical environments. Originally seen as a tool for capturing manufacturing, retail or transport data, barcoding has been used in healthcare for fast, accurate hospital admissions using barcoded wristbands, tracking of hospital assets and inventory, plus the administration of medication and laboratory specimens and samples.
With barcode mobile devices now integrated into wireless networking, introducing barcoding also elevates the visibility, connectivity and productivity of hospital staff from nurses to maintenance engineers across healthcare estates.
What makes healthcare barcode devices different from standard ones?
Many healthcare devices are designed to be disinfectant-ready, incorporating advanced medical-grade plastics that are compatible with a wide range of industry disinfectants. Some devices feature housing and a USB-C port designed to minimise crevices where pathogens can accumulate. Additionally, many of these devices include features such as alarm button integrations and applications specifically designed for hospital environments.
What are the options for tracking often misplaced hospital equipment?
Given the large and sprawling nature of hospital and healthcare estates, it’s not surprising that some equipment can become misplaced. There are several effective methods for managers to track and trace their equipment. The simplest approach is to assign a sequential asset code to all items, typically printed on asset labels or tags. These tags can be scanned using a handheld mobile computer connected to an asset management system, allowing managers to record the asset’s location and identify who last used it.
More advanced technologies are also available, such as Ultra-Wideband (UWB)/RFID and Wi-Fi-enabled tags, which enable real-time location system (RTLS) tracking. RTLS provides continuous asset tracking through beacons in the tags that communicate with the asset tracking system, ensuring that you always know the current location of your equipment.
Do you offer any barcoding solutions for laboratories?
Yes, we can provide scanners, mobile computers and printers for your laboratories. Plus, we specialise in providing specialist labels for laboratories that can withstand chemicals, extreme temperatures and cleaning processes.
