Pick one of the Joint Commission National Patient Safety Goals (NPSGs) and discuss why you think it would have importance in the hospital setting.
Also, in addition to nurses, what other team members taking care of the patient would you deem having an integral part in making sure your chosen NPSG was met? Describe why you believe that…What role, in particular, would they play?
Hospitals are actually “graded” on their compliance with the NPSGs when it comes to their initial and subsequent accreditation visits, so these are extremely important for all hospital personnel to be aware of and abide by.
