December 1, 2009 

   

 

 

After an extensive selection process, Advocate Health Care selects  Endur ID Wristband products for implementation across the entire Advocate Health Care System.

As of this release, all seven facilities have gone "live". Implentations have been trouble free with both the the associates and the patients viewing the new Endur ID bands as an enhancement to patient safety.

 "The associates are very satisfied with the new bands. We are using them on all inpatients and outpatients. When we compare what we were trying to read before to what we have on the Endur ID wristbands, the improvement is amazing. The bands have scanned with 100%  consistency for our glucometers since we went live at all four sites. The patients have also commented that they appreciate the focus on their safety"
