Current Pilots Show 80% Preference Over Traditional Wristbands
In a 2020 pilot at the Lenox Health Greenwich Village Emergency Department, IDION Shields were deployed on 35,000 patients. 80% of patients, nurses and clinical staff preferred Shields over traditional wristbands. During Covid, nurses at Lenox Hill Greenwich Village decided to only use the IDION Shield as it was much easier to track patients, with reduced contact.
“We love it! It’s so much easier than the wristband. Patients like the Shield because it’s comfortable, which makes staff love it too.”
“It takes a really long time to verify information with the traditional hospital wristband. The Shield has reduced that time significantly.”
“It’s much easier than a wristband to work with and scan. There’s no twisting, turning, or maneuvering.”
