Case Study: LifeBridge Health improves patient safety and medication verification with Datalogic Gryphon imagers

LifeBridge Health deploys 800 Gryphon imagers with Datalogic for safer patient care

LifeBridge Health, a major regional healthcare organization, faced the challenge of implementing a bar code scanning system at the point of care that could withstand harsh disinfectant cleaners. This was critical for patient safety to prevent hospital-acquired infections at their Sinai Hospital facility. They turned to vendor Datalogic for a solution using their disinfectant-ready Gryphon imagers.

Datalogic provided its Gryphon linear imagers, which are manufactured with anti-microbial additives and housings designed to survive daily cleaning with harsh chemicals. This solution allowed LifeBridge Health to electronically verify the Five Patient Rights during medication administration, drastically reducing the potential for errors. The implementation of over 800 Datalogic scanners has increased efficiency and, more importantly, maximized the quality of care provided to patients.
