ABSTRACT:
A pre-packaged patient identification kit and method for assuring correlation between a patient, his specimens and his records is disclosed. The kit is preferably formed as a transparent package inside of which a wristband, at least one specimen container and, optionally, a label are disposed. The wristband, specimen container, and label are pre-numbered with identical patient identifying indicia. The kit is used by first visually verifying that all indicia are identical, attaching the wristband to the patient, taking a specimen from the patient and placing it in the specimen container, and placing the label means on the patient's record. After analysis of the specimen, the patient identifying indicia is copied onto a label for a therapeutic agent to be given to the patient; and finally, before administration of the therapeutic agent to the patient, the indicia on the label of the therapeutic agent is checked against the indicia on the patient's wristband and his records.
