This QIP was started in February this year with active involvement of three different teams – The Identifiers, Mind Bogglers and Goal Diggers. The teams had a preliminary presentation in May 2018. Later it was decided to work as one team with one goal, one vision and this collaborative effort led to the formation of a Single Patient Identification QIP team called the Unified Identifiers.

Increasing the awareness of staff and patients and streamlining and revising the existing process were the main objectives of the QIP.
