Definitions
- This invention relates to identity systems and is concerned primarily with systems for ensuring accurate and reliable identification of persons requiring care.
- the invention is thus applicable to nursing and residential care homes and to hospitals.
- a method of producing an identity system applicable to the identification of a plurality of persons comprising taking a photograph of each of the persons, assigning an identity code to each photograph, and producing a record sheet for each person, which record sheet carries a photograph, the name of the person shown in the photograph and the associated assigned identity code.
- Selected further data may be added to the record sheet.
- the photographs are preferably taken using a digital camera and the record sheets are preferably produced using a computer and colour printer. Other methods of photography may alternatively be employed and the photographic data then fed into the computer using a flat-bed scanner.
- the record sheet is a personal identification sheet
- the further data added to the record sheet will include personal details of the person shown in the photograph. For example, if the person has special dietary requirements, these will be entered on the record sheet.
- the record sheet is a drug sheet
- the sheet will have spaces for entry of the medication to be taken by that person.
- the drug sheet may include a bar code.
- a person may be supplied with a record sheet in the form of a card bearing the person's name, photograph, identity code and personal bar code.
- the carer or other person who administers the medication will scan the bar code of the medication and the bar code of the person to whom the 3 medication is administered, thereby producing an immediate record that that medication has been given and of the person to whom the medication has been given.
- an identity system comprising a plurality of record sheets produced by the method described above.
- Figure 1 is a flow chart showing a first embodiment of the invention.
- Figure 2 is a flow chart showing a second embodiment of the invention.
- Figure 1 shows the application of the invention to a care home or nursing home.
- the residents of the home are photographed using a digital camera 10 and the pictures of the residents are produced as a hard copy using a computer 11 and a colour printer 12.
- the staff of the home are then asked to positively identify the photographs.
- the resident is tagged with a unique number which will incorporate a four-letter code denoting the name and type of the residence, followed by the first three digits of the post code of the residence and, finally, a three-digit number which is specific to that particular resident.
- the unique numbers are issued sequentially and will follow the resident into any other application within the system.
- a particular unique number may thus include the following components:- a) Home number - FMNH, b) Post Code - EX1 , c) Resident Number - 001 , producing a complete unique number - FMNHEX1001. 5
- the resident In the event of a new photograph being required, the resident will be issued with a new number. Once a number has been assigned to a particular image, the number will always move with that name and image so that the photo identity will always match the person on view.
- the first image A is printed on to an identification sheet 13 in colour.
- all other physical attributes are added to the description so that the identification sheet can then form part of the admission records of that particular resident. Secondary copies of this can also be produced for possible use in situations in which the emergency services have to be called, e.g. if a resident goes missing.
- the image and accompanying data can be printed onto a drug sheet 14 for that particular resident so that a monthly record can be kept of all the medication administered to that resident.
- the image and accompanying data can alternatively be printed onto stick-on labels 15 which can be applied to, for example, pre-packed drug dispensers or to other forms of record sheets, or to the outside of bedroom doors, as an aid to staff unfamiliar with the residents.
- a roll call/fire list 16 can also carry this vital information so that, in the event of a fire, the emergency services can readily identify all the residents. Changes to the roll call list can readily be up-dated with the use of the stick- on labels 15.
- New residents can readily be added to the system with a photo image using a digital camera, as described above, or by taking a photograph with an instant or digital camera. A signed identification sticker is then attached
