We removed the patient location from our wristbands to eliminate rebanding the patient during the hospital stay. Our patients are only rebanded if the both barcodes on the wristband won't scan or if the band must be moved to the other arm for some reason. We have not had any problems with the patient room number not being on the wristband.
