Fareham, Hampshire, United Kingdom, 2007/04/19 - Following the recent report by Lord Hunt the NHS IT Minister, into the advantages of increasing usage of barcoding in the NHS, Fontware are setting their aims for their BarSTORM unit to become the standard barcode printing solution for the NHS.

BarSTORM is a print server that utilises genuine "BarDIMM Inside" Technology which incorporates over 80 different types of barcodes. The included barcodes range from the standard 1D barcodes which could be used for such things as patient, document and asset tracking, prescriptions etc... And also the new generation of 2D barcodes. 2D barcodes can store hundreds of times more data than a traditional barcode, acting in effect like a mini database, which can contain a persons medical records, all available from a quick scan from a barcode reader.
In designing BarSTORM, Fontware kept in mind the main thing that is currently preventing all hospitals using barcodes to their full potential...COST. Historically, in order to print barcodes, a dedicated printer has been required. However, with BarSTORM each unit gives hospitals the ability to print barcodes on their current printers. Should more than 50 printers need to be supported then additional units can be installed to match the requirement, with multiple printers being supported from a single BarSTORM unit.
Andy Banes CEO for Fontware explains "Hospitals are increasingly turning to barcodes, as, with their responsibility for patient care, they want to ensure the highest levels of data accuracy & also with increasing commercial pressures, they want to speed-up the rate of data input & transfer. Thus barcodes are now being printed on everything from patient records to blood bags & from crutches to new born babies".
BarSTORM is available from Fontware directly throughout the UK & Ireland and is available Internationally through their network of distributors.
