DATA SYSTEM FOR MEDICAL AND OTHER ENVIRONMENTS

摘要

For maintaining error-free records in hospitals and other environments, a master identification tab or device for a primary subject or object receives indicia including coded information and later the coded information is directly transferred to a dependent identification tab or device which in turn is affixed to a subordinate subject or object. Thus, manual transfer of information is avoided and high accuracy assured. Additional data may be recorded on the dependent identification tab. When the present system is used in hospitals, the primary subject may be a patient and the subordinate subject may be a prescription container, a specimen tube or the like.
