Objective:
To evaluate the effectiveness of implementing a quality improvement cycle in the process for identifying critically ill patients in an intensive care center.
Methods:
The implementation of an observational and interventional improvement cycle, using a before-and-after quasi-experimental design, with a quantitative approach, in an intensive care center. Seven criteria were developed to evaluate the quality of the identification process. The results of the intervention were subjected to statistical analysis.
Results:
The quality of the identification process showed significant improvement in the values referring to compliance with the conformities in the criteria evaluated. Statistical significance was observed in the evaluations of criteria C1, C2, C3, C4, and C6, with increased compliance values after the intervention.
Final considerations:
The efficacy of the improvement cycle in the quality of the patient identification process was evidenced. It was possible to involve and encourage the participation of the care team and improve organizational processes.

Objective:
To determine the frequency of similar names and hospital records of women in a public teaching maternity hospital and the risk of misidentification resulting from the similarity in spelling and pronunciation of the names and in records.
Method:
Quantitative, documental and case study of 5,975 admissions that occurred between 2011 and 2014. The data name, admission and discharge date, date of birth, hospital record and bed number were collected from an electronic information system. Analysis encompassed descriptive statistics and design of an algorithm for comparison of text and sound.
Results:
Examination of the names revealed that 86% of the misidentification cases resulted from identical surnames and 96.5% from a sound similarity in the first names. There were patients with identical first and last names at least one day a week.
Conclusion:
The risk of misidentification of patients is a reality, which stresses the importance of checking and pronouncing the complete names correctly.
