First name, first initial of last name
 

I support the change to ID badges that only identify health care providers by the first name, and first initial of the last name.  This will enhance the safety of all health care providers.  I have been contacted at home by a male patient after he acquired my number from the telephone directory.  He would not have been able to do so if my ID only had the first initial of my last name.
