DHSV Patient Identification Observational Audit
by Marrianne Beaty, from the Community
This observational audit helps dental teams confirm patient identity prior to seating. It guides staff to request and document at least three unique identifiers such as full name, date of birth, address, or gender, ensuring consistent verification across multiple observations. Use it to standardize identity checks, support compliance with patient safety protocols, minimize mix-ups, and improve quality of care in dental settings.
