Feedback:
The client's full name and date of birth is available on the ID band. Other relevant information includes the physician's name and the client's medical record number or agency's identification number. If the client is registered in the healthcare facility under an alias, then all records and documents will contain only the alias and not the actual full name. The ID band does not bear the client's address, phone number, or medical condition.
