Preparing Your Hospital for Compliance with Joint Commission National Patient Safety Goals

The purpose of Joint Commission's National Patient Safety Goals (NPSGs) is to promote specific improvements in patient safety. The goals highlight problematic areas in healthcare and describe evidence and expert-based solutions to these problems. Joint Commission released in the February addition of Joint Commission Perspectives the top compliance issues for the first six months of 2007.

Representatives from the Center for Safety and Clinical Excellence will present these top non-compliant NPSGs, discuss surveyor's expectations for meeting the goals, and provide tips on how to successfully comply with the goals. A portion of the presentation contains strategies for complying with the NPSG 3E on reducing the likelihood of patient harm associated with the use of anticoagulant therapy that is scheduled for full implementation in hospitals in January 2009.
