ODESSA - The staff at Medical Center Hospital in Odessa will soon be able to tell your health condition with just a glance at your wrist.
They're implementing a color-coded patient wristband system to improve patient safety.
Red wristbands mean there's an allergy risk, yellow means a risk of falling, and purple shows the patient has asked for a do not resuscitate order.
The hospital says the wristbands will alert the staff to the specific needs of each patient.
