Patient Identification Policy
COP-MUL-009

 First Verification is performed by the
nurse before pre-medication.
 Second Verification is performed by the
nurse before the procedure.
 Third Verification, “TIME OUT”, is
performed just before starting the
procedure.
 “TIME OUT”: the nurse initiates the
process, the surgeon and anesthetist
verify the correct patient name,
procedure and site.
26

Goal #5: Reduce the Risk of Health
Care-Associated Infections
All AUBMC Personnel shall use proper
hand hygiene before:
● Patient contact
● Applying gloves before starting

such as: central- venous catheters
(CVC), inserting urinary catheters,
peripheral vascular catheters, or
other invasive devices that do not
require surgery
● Eating, drinking, preparing or
handling food

Goal #6: Reduce the Risk of Patient
Harm Resulting From Falls
 Fall Risk Assessment Tool: initiated
upon admission, then weekly and
as condition evolves, for adults.
 According to the findings, the
patient is categorized as “at Risk” or
“No Risk”.
 If patient is at risk of fall, the patient
is put on fall risk precaution.
 In pediatric population, fall
precaution is done daily.
