Successful Scan Confirmation
Our first iteration of scanning was so fast, it left many people wondering if the scan had actually worked. Wonder no more! Now, when a scan is successful, a green checkmark will appear on the screen to confirm that the information has been entered into the Pulsara channel.
What's changing
- When scanning a driver’s license or patient wristband, a green highlight and checkmark will appear to confirm a successful scan
Who’s impacted
- Anyone who scans a patient’s driver’s license or wristband
Why you’d use it
-
This improvement to the scanning experience will allow for instant visual verification that the scan was successful
-
Scanning reduces the burden of manual data entry while also increasing the accuracy and reliability of the data entered, facilitating communication and the patient registration process
-
Eliminate dual data entry by scanning patient data that can flow into an ePCR integration with Pulsara
-
Easily add information like the patient’s name and DOB by scanning the barcode on the back of their driver’s license.
