Inventory Patient Personal Property Form is an essential document required during admittance of a patient/resident in a hospital or other health care institution. The inventory is classified into categories like valuables like jewelry, cash, credit and/or debit cards, etc. and Personal Effects are patient’s belongings required during day-to-day tasking.
However, the nurse or the administrator admitting the patient must return the valuables or offer to store them in a security vault after describing them properly. Patients are allowed to keep personal effects upon inventorying them in this form. However, the intention of preparing the Inventory Patient Personal Property Form is to minimize inventory and subsequent loss.

Please file this form safely and the hospital may choose to handover a copy of the same to the patient or patient’s relative for record purpose. However, hospitals or other health care service providers do not accept responsibility of safekeeping of any item not listed in this Inventory Patient Personal Property Form.
