National learning report: positive patient identification

This report finds that the misidentification of patients remains a persistent safety risk across the NHS but is one that is under-recognised and under-researched. It draws together evidence from six completed Healthcare Safety Investigation Branch investigations and wider intelligence, such as the research literature and national policy documents. The aim of the report is to support national learning and influence national action to reduce the risk of patient misidentification.ReportHealth Services Safety Investigations Body - news
