If you see the white demographic validation sheets not done in a chart of patient you are seeing..
Either..
1)give to ward clerk to do when available
2)give to nursing to allow them to delegate the task or do themselves
3) do it yourself! It takes about 20 seconds maybe…
even if you just validate the phone number it may be super helpfull later when soemone needs to call them!
Nursing is supposed to take responsibility to do when ward clerk not there but soemtimes I find just easier to do myself.
This sheet was created to flag info because of patient that was never contacted ( about his positive bllod cultures from which he died) due to lack of info to reach or find him. Same reason for the new line on the d/c sheets reminding yuo to get a contact number.
