To provide safe and secure medical care, we ask for your active participation in safety measures.

By deepening your understanding of medical safety and working together with our medical staff, we aim to prevent medical accidents and ensure your well-being.

Name verification and wristbands

• When verifying your identity, staff will ask you to state your full name and date of birth.
• Please wear your ID wristband at all times. You may remove it when leaving the hospital for temporary visits or overnight stays. If you do remove it, please keep the old wristband with you until a new one is issued.
• Please clearly state your full name and date of birth before examinations, tests, or receiving medication.
• Please double-check your name on IV drip labels, meal tags, and other items to ensure they are correct.

Confirm location

• To ensure safety in the event of a disaster, we track patient locations by scanning wristbands. We will scan your wristband barcode at each location: when you leave or return to the ward for tests or surgery, and when you arrive at or leave a testing room.
• Barcode scanning is not required when leaving the ward for short walks or shopping. However, please inform the medical staff before you leave.

Medications

• Pharmacists are stationed in all wards to check any medications you bring with you upon admission.
• When you receive medication, please check the label on the medicine bag to ensure it has your name, the correct dosage instructions, timing, and precautions.
• If you have any questions or concerns about your medication, please ask a doctor, pharmacist, or nurse immediately. Please resolve any doubts before taking the medicine.
