Fear is the father of courage and the mother of safety.
Stay Safe You can contribute to healthcare safety.
While you are in the hospital, many people will enter your room, from doctors and nurses to aides and orderlies. Te following information will help make your hospital stay safe and comfortable.
Employee ID All hospital employees wear identification badges. Feel free to ask any staff member for his or her name and job classification. If you do not see an ID badge on an employee, please call your nurse immediately.
Don’t Be Afraid to Ask… A number of people may enter your hospital room.
Be sure to: n Ask for the ID of everyone who comes into your room. n Speak up if hospital staff don’t ask to check your ID. n Ask if the person has washed his or her hands before he or she touches you.
n If you are told you need certain tests or procedures, ask why you need them, when they will happen and how long it will be before you get the results.

PATIENT IDENTIFICATION Any time staff enters your room to administer medications, transport you or perform procedures and treatments, they must check your birth date and name before they proceed. At times, you may be asked the same questions repeatedly. We are aware that this may be annoying. Please understand, however, that this verification process is a critical component in our patient safety program in order to guarantee that all of our patients receive the correct medications and treatments.
