Patient identification
All patients receive an ID bracelet at admission that lists their name and other appropriate information. Physicians, nurses and other care givers carefully check bracelets and charts before any procedures, tests or administration of medication.
How you can help:
- Be sure the information on your (or your loved one's) ID bracelet is correct.
- Notify Admitting staff and your physician or nurse of any allergies, other medical conditions or special circumstances. You will receive a supplemental bracelet with this information.
- If you do not receive a patient ID bracelet, or if your bracelet falls off or is damaged, please let your nurse know immediately.
- Before taking any medication or undergoing any test or procedure, it's OK to ask your caregiver to check your ID bracelet.
