Newborn Naming Requirement TJC

Forums: 

We recently had a near miss reported due in part to the new TJC naming requirement for newborns. Baby [Mouse, Girl Minnie] had an order intended for Mom [Mouse, Minnie].

1. Have you had reports related to this new naming convention?
2. How has your institution implemented this requirement? (e.g. Mouse, Minnie Girl; Mouse, Minnie Babygirl; Mouse, Girl Minnie; Mouse, Minnie's Girl)
3. Are you limited in characters or format by your EHR?

Thanks!
Liz
