We're Improving Patient Safety
Aloha! Welcome to The Queen’s Health System. Our highest priority is your safety and well-being.
Starting August 7, 2021, we will be implementing a new process to take a current photo of you to add to your medical record. These patient photos will assist in identifying you before and after your visit.
This photo is considered protected health information and will not be stored on a device or shared without your permission.
Adding a photo to your medical record help us to:
- Increase patient safety – it adds another way to identify you during your visit
- Prevent healthcare fraud – we can better ensure that no one else tries to use your information or medical insurance to seek medical care
Acceptable forms of identification:
- Driver’s license
- State ID
- Government issued ID
- Passport
- Student ID (for minors age 17 and below)
