Upon admission, you receive a wristband with your surname, first names, sex and date of birth, which must be worn on the wrist. This wristband contributes to the safety of your care, by helping to verify your identity when you receive treatment or undergo an examination. During your stay, your identity is verified many times.
We need to distinguish between inpatient activity, measured in number of hospitalisations, and outpatient activity, measured in the number of patients supported, hospital visits or day cases.
