Color-coded Wristband Standardation in Arizona
I found this quality tool to be interesting because it educated the employees, of facilities in Arizona, on patient safety by using color-coded wristbands to alert healthcare providers of different precautions concerning each patient. The three different conditions that had a wrist band for was do not resuscitate (DNR) (purple bands) , allergies (red bands), and fall risk (yellow bands). I thought this was a neat tool and should be shared with other facilities across our country.
