Q. What are the requirements for ID badges?
A. The standards require that the organization identifies individuals entering its facilities. The organization is expected to determine who requires identification and how the process is implemented. If the policy requires all staff to wear ID badges, then all staff (including Physicians) would need to comply. Photo IDs, name on badges (first, last, both, one or the other, etc) may be necessary as some states have specific standards. Please check with the local Authority Having Jurisdiction for additional guidance.
