ID Badge

ID Badges

You are required to wear your ID badge whenever you are working with a patient because:

Informing patients and their families about the identity and function of the person who is providing their care is important for patients’ safety and well-being;
Displaying an ID badge projects the professionalism of the agency;
ID badges help to eliminate confusion among multiple caregivers who may visiting patients;
It eases patients’ minds when they recognize photos of familiar faces, especially those with memory issues or other cognitive impairments; and
One of the ways the agency monitors who has been vaccinated for influenza is by placing a sticker on the ID badge.
