Systems and methods include tamper-evident indicators applied to a band comprising a strap that forms a closed loop. Tamper-evident sections of the indicators provide increased security against accidental and intentional removal of the indicators. Indicators are provided with adhesives and bare areas devoid of adhesive allowing easy and secure application of indicators to bands while they are being worn and with greater ease. Indicators can be further provided with liners protecting the adhesives allowing the indicators to be easily applied by gloved hands, reducing contamination risks. Contamination and wear risks can be further reduced by supplying indicators with antimicrobial surfaces and overprint varnishing.
A self-expiring band structure is activated upon the contacting of two chemical constituents together. This contacting may be performed by the attachment action of the band or independently thereof. After a time duration has passed, the coaction of the chemical constituents result in a visually perceptible change can alert others to the fact the band has expired. These bands may be both printable, such as by a printer or other machine printing, as well as time-expiring making them a very versatile product that offer heightened security at the price point closer to that of a disposable item because they do not require complex infrastructure for validation.

A location/tracking system for use in hospitals and similar healthcare facilities is based upon a "last seen" location for patients, clinicians, or high value equipment. The system uses portal readers to determine when and where an item to be tracked passes through a portal, bed or exam chair mounted proximity reader to determine when and how long an item is proximate to a reader in order to determine when and for how long the item is proximate to a particular task area. Real time tracking and retrospective analysis of transaction data enables locating an item to be tracked and allows higher level analysis of the transaction data to determine metrics for "time to test", "time to treatment", and similar statistics.
