We are in the process of implementing BMV and want to know what software
and hardware other sites are using for printing wrist bands with
barcodes. Thanks in advance!

Hi Chris,

We're using NPR reports to print patient information and barcodes on
LaserBand wristbands (and labels, now used in place of embossed card
imprints, and with Meditech's Scanning and Archiving application). This
is working well for us, and was a less expensive and simpler approach
than using specialty thermal printers. We are Client/Server 5.5.2.
Feel free to contact me with questions.

Thanks,

Gary

Our barcode labels are generated from Meditech by Formfast
http://www.formfast.com/

The bar code labels are put into Sentry Bar Code LabelBands (see
attached PowerPoint slide). Here is the vendor web site:
