Talking Points to communicate to the patient/family: The ID Band must stay on your wrist (or ankle) throughout the entire hospitalization or visit. The ID Band has important information including full name, medical record number, and date of birth. The ID Band will be used by Hospital staff and physicians to verify all treatment and services before caring for you. The patient and/or family are encouraged to stop any staff member who does not verify their identification before any treatment and services.

7 Appendix: Suggested Talking Points with Staff To Prepare for the Training Session: The objective of this training session is to reinforce the proper procedures to verifying patient information, thus ensuring our patients receive the right treatments or services. Performing patient verification consistently and correctly is one way we put patients first. During this upcoming training session, we will explore what you are expected to say and do when verifying patient identification. Patient verification is required at the time of clinical care, including when: Administering breast milk, medications, blood, or blood components Collecting blood samples and other specimens for clinical testing Providing treatments or procedures (including meal service) Patient verification is also required when verbally communicating patient information, including: When a test result or a physician order is communicated over the telephone or in person When a request is made by telephone or in person to schedule a test or transport a patient to or from a test to a procedure area To Open the Training Session: At NYP, we put patients first. In doing that we ensure that treatment is delivered in a safe fashion. One of the important safety practices here at NYP is the patient verification process. Patient Verification is the first line of defense in the prevention of medical errors in hospitals all across the country. Why is Patient Verification important to you and the patient? Examples of errors in performing Patient Verification include: A patient is given the wrong type of blood during a transfusion. The wrong mother s milk is given to a newborn baby. Two patients with the same last name who share a room have their prescribed medications accidentally mixed up. A child with severe food allergies is given the wrong meal. The wrong patient is taken to radiology. To Encourage Dialogue: Tell me how you would... What would you do if... How can you be sure that... When do you use identifiers for... NYP Patient Verification 7
8 Appendix: Helpful Hints and Tips Set the tone of the session. Present yourself as organized and relaxed but also serious since Patient Verification is a very serious topic. Be aware of your body language and facial expression, and maintain good eye contact. Make your staff feel comfortable. For example, make sure everyone has a place to sit and there is enough room for everyone. If staff members seem distracted, disinterested or confrontational, you may need to reschedule their training session to another time. Open the training session with well-thought out comments. Be sure to state upfront why we perform Patient Verification and the purpose for the training. State the seriousness of performing Patient Verification by providing some examples of medical errors which could occur when Patient Verification is NOT performed. For example, two patients who share a room may receive the same medication but at different dosages. Without performing patient verification, we could be giving the patient the incorrect dosage which could cause them harm. Use examples based upon your own experience or based upon what you may have heard/read about in the media. Emphasize that we need to explain our work process to patients, so they understand we are considering their safety as our primary concern. Handle employee concerns throughout the training, and ensure the discussion on barriers does not become negative. Listen carefully to what is being said; it may be necessary to take notes. Resist any temptation to interrupt. Show your appreciation when a staff member candidly expresses concerns or points out obstacles to using the patient verification identifiers. If you need to bring the concern or issue up to your Manager, let the staff know that and promise to get back to them with more information within a reasonable period of time. Communicate and coach after the session. Display a completed worksheet in your unit for all staff to reference. During your regular interactions with staff members, look for opportunities to reinforce the importance of Patient Verification and the proper use of the identifiers. Plan to periodically re-evaluate your staff members understanding and use of Patient Verification in their jobs. During staff meetings and huddles, revisit the action plan to provide updates on removing barriers. Also use staff meetings and huddles to review the Patient Verification worksheets. Ask staff to pair up with a partner with similar work responsibilities and practice using the talking points that explain Patient Verification to patients and family members. Remember, Patient Verification is not about verifying who the patient is, but ensuring that the patient we have identified is receiving the correct medication, test, procedure, etc. NYP Patient Verification 8
