Patient ID Now
is a coalition of healthcare organizations representing a wide range of healthcare stakeholders committed to advancing, through legislation and regulations, a nationwide strategy to address patient identification.

We encourage our members, and those organizations interested in achieving a nationwide strategy around patient identification, to become involved in our advocacy efforts on the Hill and with the Administration.

Patient ID Week

This year Patient ID Week is being held from May 8 – 12, 2023. We will highlight a variety of topics impacted by the lack of a national patient identification strategy, including: health equity, patient care and safety, the administrative and cost burden to the health system, privacy and security, and public health.

Tell Us Your Story
Tell us how you have been affected by the lack of a national strategy around patient identification. Do you work in healthcare and see the effects of patient misidentification? Have you or someone you know been personally misidentified while seeking healthcare? Have your results been misfiled or combined with the record of someone else with a similar name? Is your medical file incomplete because you visited multiple healthcare settings, and the information was not consolidated? Let us know your story!
