It’s Patient ID Week (May 12-16), and we are raising awareness around the challenges posed by patient misidentification in healthcare.
Let’s talk about the hidden costs of patient misidentification during Patient ID Week (May 12-16). Did you know that some patients pay an extra $2,000 per inpatient stay and over $1,700 per ER visit due to patient matching errors? It’s a burden patients shouldn’t have to bear. Join us in advocating for H.R.2002, the MATCH IT Act, which will address the problem of patient misidentification within the healthcare ecosystem while improving patient safety and privacy through increased standards and transparency. Together, we can make a change!
