Patent attributes
A patient identification unit is provided including a conformable sleeve configured to be worn by a patient such that it extends substantially along an extremity. The sleeve includes a band information display portion, and an occluding insert that is slidably placed to cover the band information display portion. Private information of the patient is provided in the band information display portion beneath the occluding insert. Public information of the patient is provided on an outer surface of the occluding insert forming a tab information display portion. In such a configuration the patent may be able to carry a considerably larger amount of medical information in a manner that both satisfies regulatory privacy laws while allowing access by medical providers in a situation where the patient is unconscious or unable to communicate.
