STOP! Research to know why information isn’t matching. If the patient confirms that the ID band name or birthdate is incorrect or the account/medical record number is incorrect YOU MUST take responsibility to notify nursing staff to make the change immediately and place the correct band on the patient. This is a High Risk patient safety situation requiring action.
