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.
