Abstract
In addition, the identification of the patient is not mentioned. Other admission policies for example, Peterborough and Stamford Hospitals (2008) mentioned that all admitted patients or those undergoing treatment must have 1 wrist band detailing the following: Full name, date of birth and patient number. Moreover, Protocol on Admission to Hospital in Shetland, (2004) specified that wrist bands must be in specific colors such as red, for example, if the patient was reported to have an allergy. However, the policy in the Princess Basma Hospital does not include that, and patients are still up till now without wrist band for identification. This will cause serious challenges in emergency situations especially if the health care professionals need to response quickly for an urgent situation such as patient loss of consciousness if the health care professional does not remember the name of the patient to follow instructions in patients file.
