How to fill out patient initials:

1. Patient initials are typically required on medical forms or records to identify patients accurately. To fill out patient initials correctly, follow these steps:
2. Begin by writing the patient's first name initial in uppercase letters. If the patient has a middle name, include the initial immediately after the first initial, also in uppercase letters. For example, if the patient's name is John A. Doe, write "JAD."
3. Next, proceed to write the patient's last name initial in uppercase letters. Ensure that it is written after the initials of the first and middle name, with a space between them. Using the previous example, if the patient's last name is Smith, the initials would be "JAD S."
4. Double-check the initials to ensure accuracy. Mistakes in patient initials could lead to confusion or errors in medical documentation or treatment.
