As of June 1, the state of Pennsylvania’s new healthcare identification law is in effect, meaning organizations must now be fully compliant with HB 1482 (2010).
HB 1482 (2010) requires that healthcare worker ID badges meet specific requirements, namely the inclusion of an employee’s name, photo, title in large, block letters and the facility name. These regulations are in place to protect not only the hospitals themselves, but their employees and patients as well. The organization tools the required badging system include safeguards to ensure qualified employees are the ones allowed certain interactions over others. The system makes employee identification instantly possible, even at a glance or from a distance.
Pennsylvania is not alone in regulating ID requirements, as more and more states are setting standards. The recognized need for immediately recognizable ID badges is working its way to becoming federally mandated. Getting your system ready now is your opportunity to stay ahead of the needs of the rest of the hospital industry, as well as ensure the safety of both your patients as well as your staff.
