The patient identification process is essential to ensure safety and quality of assistance in healthcare institutions. The use of a wristband for identification is common practice, although cultural organization, material and human factors cause non-conformity resulting in errors or adverse events. The aim of this article is to highlight constituent elements of the patient identification process by means of wristbands and discuss topics related to the implementation of this process in hospitals. This study was based on theoretic references and standardizations of accrediting organizations and bodies that debate security in the hospital environment and incentives for safe patient identification. It was concluded that patient identification by means of wristbands is recommended internationally although there are loopholes in relation to protocol, effective execution and evaluation of the process to support management and healthcare actions.
患者识别流程对于确保医疗机构的安全和护理质量至关重要。使用腕带进行识别是常见做法，尽管文化组织、物质和人为因素会导致不符合规定，从而引发错误或不良事件。本文旨在通过腕带突出患者识别流程的构成要素，并讨论与该流程在医院实施相关的话题。本研究基于认证组织和机构的理论参考及标准化，这些组织和机构探讨医院环境中的安全以及安全患者识别的激励措施。得出的结论是，尽管在流程的协议、有效执行和评估以支持管理和医疗行动方面存在漏洞，但国际上仍推荐使用腕带进行患者识别。
