Medical staff in Pennsylvania should be aware that a new Pennsylvania law requires physicians and their employees who provide direct patient care to wear a photo ID card during work hours. The law became effective on January 22, 2011 and the Department of Health is required to publish regulations clarifying the law within 90 days.
The new law obligates physicians, health care providers, and all medical employees in private practices and employment agencies to wear photo ID badges displaying: name of their health care facility or employment agency, recent photo, name of the employee and their job title.
