"When a patient arrives at the center to be hospitalized, either for an urgent case or for a scheduled activity, a wristband is placed on the wrist, made of soft but resistant paper, which has a barcode printed". The manager adds that "In this way, by means of a reader connected to a computer, we can immediately recover the patient's clinical data stored in our Green Cube medical history, both the background and the current medical process by which he has been admitted".
This quality strategy is especially focused on "Improve all aspects related to patient safety we attend, both in our polyclinic and in the consultations of specialties in Jávea, continuously incorporating new guides, protocols and tools that facilitate good care practices".
