Right Patient

Right Patient refers to ensuring that the correct individual receives the appropriate medical treatment, medication, or procedure. It involves verifying the patient's identity through multiple identifiers, such as name, date of birth, or identification numbers, to prevent errors like administering the wrong medication or performing procedures on the wrong person. This process is a vital part of patient safety, helping healthcare providers reduce mistakes and deliver accurate care tailored to each individual. By diligently confirming the right patient, healthcare systems support effective, safe, and personalized treatment outcomes.
