Two Patient Identifiers - Orders for Care/Critical Test Values
Publish | January 01, 0001
Does the two-identifier requirement apply to orders for care? Does it apply to reporting critical test results? NPSG.01.01.01
Yes, to both questions. These are important, safety-related aspects of patient care, which for purposes of this requirement, fall under the EP for the use of two identifiers for "other treatments or procedures".
