Accurate patient identification across the entire care workflow is what prevents treating the wrong person. Radiant ensures this by matching patient identifiers across orders, charts, and treatment plans and by requiring two independent identifiers to be confirmed at sign-off. In practice, the system cross-checks key details like name, date of birth, and MRN in each module, and the clinician must verify two of these identifiers before finalizing. This multi-point verification makes mismatches highly unlikely, so the intended patient receives the correct treatment. Other options may improve security or timing but don’t provide the same robust, cross-system identity verification that prevents misassignment.
