Support or not support, choice or not a choice, I work in an ED setting where our name changes occurred and I don't recall a choice-First Name, last initial. But as we did this, I think a year or two ago, I wondered how legal/ethical it really is. In every patient room posted clearly on the Patients Rights and Responsibilities, the patients have a right to know the identity of their healthcare provider.
