PDC Healthcare Debuts New Mother/Father/Infant Patient ID Wristbands at AWHONN 2013 Convention

VALENCIA, Calif. - June 18, 2013 - PRLog -- PDC Healthcare, the global leader of innovative identification solutions, will display its newest and best-selling products for labor & delivery, as well as some exciting promotions for attendees, at booth #242 during the Association of Women’s Health, Obstetric and Neonatal Nurses (AWHONN) Convention from June 15-19, in Nashville, TN.

PDC Healthcare will debut its new DuraSoft® TenderCare® Laser Newborn ID System that helps ensure every infant is properly identified and matched to their parents. A direct thermal version of TenderCare®, the first and only thermal 4-part newborn ID system on the market, will also be exhibited. A variety of additional labor & delivery and NICU products, specially designed for infant patient comfort, will be on display.

All show attendees will have a chance to instantly win a Coach designer handbag, or a $150 Amazon gift card, by participating in PDC Healthcare’s “Who’s your Mama” promotion. To enter, participants can present their bar coded TenderCare® thermal wristband - provided in the attendee bag upon registration - to PDC Healthcare’s booth. Wristbands will then be scanned to determine instant winners. If the winning wristband is not scanned during AWHONN, a second chance drawing will occur after the show has ended, and the winner will be notified via phone or email.

Attendees will also have the opportunity to win up to $5,000 by entering PDC Healthcare’s “Share your Patient Safety IDeas Contest.” To enter, participants will complete a short questionnaire on an iPad or form and submit an original idea for a new patient safety ID product. Submissions will be collected and reviewed by PDC Healthcare representatives, and any potential winners will be contacted by phone.

“We wanted to give our customers the opportunity to share what’s important to them when it comes to the development of future patient ID products,” said D’Albert Benoit, Patient Safety and ID Marketing Manager for PDC Healthcare. “Customer input and patient safety are our top concerns whenever we begin the creative process of producing a new and innovative identification solution for the healthcare industry.”
