SwiftDecoder for Medical Applications
Honeywell SwiftDecoder gives your app enhanced readability, proven performance, faster scanning speed with more flexibility. It can be easily integrated with many platforms or used with off-the-shelf Android and iOS mobile devices with no software integration needed. It’s available in versions for mobile and non-mobile platforms and supports all major operating systems.
In applications designed for use in health care, accuracy on the first scan is everything. Reducing medical errors and connecting patients to the right care at the right time to increase their comfort and safety is at the forefront of every medical application. SwiftDecoder delivers snappiness and accuracy in reading damaged barcodes and barcodes in adverse conditions or in motion. Powering your application with SwiftDecoder puts the world’s largest decoding library at your customers’ fingertips.
Products using SwiftDecoder technology read millions of codes every day, and Honeywell experts continue to adapt the library to support updated operating systems, new development environments and ever-expanding symbologies. When there’s no room for error, put the power of the industry’s first choice behind your scanning and decoding application. We deliver the performance, easy integration and adaptability you need and the Honeywell expertise you trust.
Key Applications
SwiftDecoder barcode decoding solutions are used throughout the hospital workflow – from the verification of patient identity to medication and sample tracking management – to enhance operational effectiveness and increase patient safety.
Patient Identification
Positive patient identification starts at registration during the admissions process through discharge. Patient wristbands provide positive identification hospitals need for maximum patient safety while raising the bar for performance in these critical environments. With the use of the SwiftDecoder software, increase productivity while reducing medical errors with patient identity management.
Point of Care
Hospitals clinicians and nurses must collect complete, accurate and secure patient information. Point of care barcode scanning devices come in many different forms, all beginning with a proven software decoding solutions that Honeywell offers in SwiftDecoder. Combining Honeywell technologies with virtually any OEM device links critical hospital system information with improved clinician productivity to greatly enhance patient safety.
Pharmacy Management
Medication administration can be time consuming and presents opportunities for error, such as matching the patient’s wristband and medication. SwiftDecoder barcode scanning solutions help hospitals reduce human error while streamlining the process to save time and additional administrative costs, as well as increase accountability through linking caregivers to patient treatment automatically.
Laboratory Management
In-vitro diagnostics (IVD) testing is essential in early detection, diagnostics and treatment of countless medical conditions. Using barcode decoding technologies and IVD test kits automate sample testing processes and tracking, while ensuring the correct consumables are loaded for every lab test, items have not expired, and the right analyzer settings are being used. SwiftDecoder software solutions help automate reagent identification and laboratory device calibration, reducing lab technician labor and human error, while verifying against the original physician’s orders and chain of custody of samples.
Material & Stock Management
Managing the supply of goods – from instrumentation, tools, medicine and employee equipment – is a critical activity for hospitals and health centers. Honeywell offers a complete product line of barcode scan engines and software allowing hospitals and health centers to track and trace stock and inventory of goods. More particularly, Honeywell’s solutions enable reading barcodes on warehouse shelves from up to 50 feet distance, as well as reading barcodes close to each other with increased snappiness and motion tolerance up to 20 feet/second.
SwiftDecoder Software Solutions
SwiftDecoder™ software includes sophisticated barcode decoding algorithms and extensive symbology libraries. The software is available as a ‘no-integration’ downloadable app or as a Software Development Kit (SDK) for integration by software developers, independent software vendors and other OEMs who develop barcode scanning apps or custom barcode scanner hardware. Check out the solutions below to find out which one suits your application.
