Hospital passport

Definition

From:

NICE Guideline NG96 - Care and support of people growing older with learning disabilities

National Institute for Health and Care Excellence

A hospital passport is designed to give hospital staff useful information that is not limited to illness and health. For example, it could include details about what the person likes and dislikes in terms of physical contact or food and drink. The idea is to help hospital staff understand how to make the person feel comfortable.
