One of the most important things that people want when they enter any type of health care setting throughout Australia is some compassion and kindness. Whether they are in a nursing home or aged care home in Melbourne, they are in a hospital in Perth, or they will be one of these or other types of health care setting sin Sydney or Brisbane, everyone wants someone who is going to help them and provide a high level of care. Name badges are one of those things that can easily help provide that.

 Name badges have long been used throughout Australia in all types of business fields. But they are also an important little piece of every health care professional’s uniform, or at least they should be. There are many reasons why having employees, including nurses and caretakers at hospitals and aged care homes, wear name badges. Name badges are always a good option because they:

 

• Help to make the atmosphere a bit safer. People need to feel safe when they are at a health care provider’s, and name badges help patients to identify who works there. They don’t have to guess at it or ask questions, they can get the information they need right by looking at someone.
• Name badges can help to reduce the stress that patients may feel that can arise from trying to figure out who the staff members are and for trying to remember names. They are especially handy for those elderly patients in aged care homes who may have difficulty remembering names.
• Will let people know what someone’s position at the health care center is by opting for name badges that have the employees’ titles on them.
• Name badges are a great way to open the lines of communication and help people get introduced. Just as they are an ice breaker in the business world, they can get people talking in a health care setting, too.
• Help make things more personal, and most people want bedside care that is more personal and caring.  Name badges help to create a more professional atmosphere.
• Allow patients to share the names of those who have been taking great care of them. They don’t have to ask about names, they can see it and share the good news.

 When it comes down to it, it’s all about patient satisfaction. Whether a hospital, clinic, or aged care home, patients around Australia want and need to feel comfortable with the level of interaction and care they are receiving. Having employees wear permanent name badges is just one small act that can have a widespread and lasting impact. Keeping reusable name badges around for professional guests will help further carry your mission.

 Patients need to trust and feel safe with those who are providing their care. By having employees wear a name badge, they will help to increase patient trust and feelings of safety. Being able to identify those who are helping to provide care is a professional way to help patients. Permanent name badges with first names and titles will be well received by patients in all types of health care settings
