Looking to make your hospital or medical facility more efficient?
Hospitals rely on accurate, timely information every day. When employees have to handwrite labels or manually enter information into software, it can create opportunities for errors, slow down workflows, and make compliance more difficult.
PaladinID was approached by a software company that specializes in helping hospitals improve efficiency, save money, and enhance patient safety.
Their software automates and tracks information for compliance purposes while eliminating the need to handwrite documents and labels. The challenge was finding a way to use color-coded labels to differentiate important information while continuing to use their existing Zebra direct thermal printers.
The Three Main Benefits
The software was designed to:
- Eliminate patient safety risks
- Reduce non-compliance
- Increase hospital profits
Areas of Application
The solution can be used in several areas of a hospital, including:
- Operating Rooms
- Intensive Care Units
- Hospital Pharmacies

The Problem: Handwritten Hospital Labels
Pre-printed colored labels are not new to hospitals, particularly in operating rooms. The problem is that these labels still require staff to handwrite information and then manually enter that same data into the software system.
The company needed an on-demand color labeling solution that would eliminate handwriting while allowing staff to color-code different drugs and dosages.
The Solution: On-Demand Color Labels
PaladinID had a product that met these requirements while allowing the customer to continue using its existing Zebra barcode label printers.
We recommended a direct thermal label with color zones. This solution allows each department to print patient information in real time while using color to highlight important information for doctors and other medical staff.
Although this product serves a specialized niche, it was the perfect solution for this application.
PaladinID’s current product offerings include direct thermal color solutions designed to use visual cues to help differentiate and prioritize information.
Could Color-Coded Labels Improve Your Workflow?
The right medical labeling solution can help reduce manual work, improve information visibility, and make important data easier to identify.
If your organization needs to differentiate products, medications, or other information using on-demand color labels, PaladinID can help you explore a solution that works with your existing equipment.
