NPSG update

Hello,

I just wanted to make sure everyone was aware that The Joint Commission updated its Facts about the National Patient Safety Goals page, summing up what changes and updates we can expect to see in 2009 surrounding the NPSGs.

On a related note, senior Greeley Company consultants Patricia Pejakovich, RN, BSN, MPA, CPHQ, CSHA, and WendySue Woods, RN, MHSA, CSHA, will be presenting on the NPSGs at the upcoming AHAP Conference:

Making the 2009 NPSGs Come to Life:  There have been many new additions to the 2009 NPSGs, including new goals about patient identification for blood transfusions, infection control and prevention, and medication reconciliation. Learn how proven strategies for compliance with these, as well as the existing goals.

If you haven’t had a chance yet, check out the full agenda for this year’s conference here.
