Today I learned about NPSG. This stands for National Patient Safety Goals. They were first enacted in 2003. The Joint Commissioners are in charge of instituting the NPSG. Data is collected by getting information for the SFAG and SED. These are the Sentinel Event Advisory Group, and the Sentinel Event Database. The purpose of these goals are to reduce preventable errors regarding medical procedures for patients. Patient safety is the main priority. We went over a variety of the goals in class. For example, Goal 01.01.01 is to Identify Patients Correctly.
This picture is of a variety of health professionals, all concerned about Patient Safety!
