Options for patient identification include:
Recognize that it is your primary duty to verify patients' identities and match the appropriate patients with the appropriate care (such as laboratory findings, specimens, or procedures) before that care is provided.
Before administering care or transferring a patient to another hospital or other care setting, verify the patient's identity using at least two identifiers (for example, name and date of birth), in accordance with the standards and rules of your facility. The patient's room number shouldn't be one of these identifiers.
The same two identities must also be explicitly linked to the person and the medication, blood product, specimen container (with attached label), therapy, or procedure.
Patients may be confused as to why their identity is verified so frequently. Employees should constantly explain that this is done to guarantee that the appropriate care is given to the appropriate patient at all times.
