Badge Buddies provides quick identification for institutions such as hospitals, schools, government institutions, and growing businesses like your own. Yet, those in the healthcare sector need to pay special attention to exactly what kind of information needs to be printed on your employees IDtags.
Compliance Law for Proper ID Tags in Healthcare
According to the Pennsylvania House Bill 1482 of 2010, employees that provide direct care to patients must have ID badges that meet specific requirements. This law has been put in place to help patients better identify who is taking care of them. This is most useful in crowded and busy health care environments.
The bill for this law was signed in 2010. However, full compliance passed on June 1, 2015. This means that all healthcare facilities must provide an ID badge that follows these requirements:
Employees full legal name
The name of the healthcare facility
The most recent photo of the employee that must be updated every 4 years
Employees job title
The job title must be as large as possible in block print and take up in height at the bottom of the tag. Additionally, specific professions will fall into the category of Physician, Registered Nurse(RN), Licensed Practical Nurses (LPN). According to the bill, all other job titles will be determined by the department. To learn more about the specific details on job titles, read the full Pennsylvania House Bill here.

If so desired, Badge Buddies can also provide additional Health Insurance Portability and Accountability (HIPPA) information such as the telephone number and website information to the compliance helpline, protected health information, and HIPPA privacy concerns.
