The safety and care for patients is the core responsibility of healthcare providers across the globe. It is a basic human right and consumers expect the best possible level of health care services at all times. In response to this basic human need, regulatory organizations and governments have created complex systems that are designed to ensure that the patient comes first.

This places a tremendous burden on healthcare providers to meet the needs of patients, the requirements of governments and still have a positive impact on the bottom line- no easy task in an industry where demand is high but margins are chronically low.

Clear and accurate labeling and tracking systems help to ensure compliance and reduce costs. Data collection and sharing helps greatly in increasing the quality of care that patients receive and can, literally, save lives by providing essential data, as needed, across multiple platforms and across multiple health care organizations.
