Healthcare providers ask for your name
During a hospital admission, you will come into contact with many healthcare providers (doctors, nurses, etc.) who are jointly responsible for surrounding you with the best care.
Every healthcare provider has a part to play in this. As it is important that everyone knows who you are at all times, you will notice that at various points during your treatment, people will ask for your name and date of birth again or check your identification wristband for these details.
When administering medication, this is done by scanning the barcode on the identification wristband.
