When a patient is admitted to the hospital, they will often be given one or more bracelets.

These bracelets can come in different colors and can have different meanings, depending on the healthcare facility.

These bracelets serve to inform healthcare workers of special information about the patient. Different bracelet colors are used to represent different things, such as fall risk, patient identification, elopement risk, limb alerts, and more.

Although the different bracelet color meanings are common, they are not universal (they could mean different things in some facilities). Therefore, always verify bracelet color meanings in your facility.
