Exceptions & alternatives
Verify the right person.
Do not replace clinical checks.
| Control | Applicability boundary |
|---|---|
| Palm verification | Supports identity verification; does not establish the correct medication, dose, specimen or procedure. |
| Representative | Keep representative and patient identities separate; check authority to act. |
| Emergency / unable to use palm | Do not delay care. Use the approved alternative identification procedure. |
| Hygiene | No reader contact in a contactless configuration; this does not establish elimination of infection risk. |
Start with a controlled PoC.
Define purpose, devices, risks and acceptance criteria before scaling.
