Product Description:
With the release of the 2009 National Patient Safety Goals (NPSG) came some cumbersome documentation requirements. The Joint Commission has modified several of its NPSGs to include more language about documentation, including:
Goal #8, concerning medication reconciliation
Goal #13, concerning patient involvement
The Universal Protocol
During the July 18 HCPro audioconference "2009 National Patient Safety Goals: Expert Analysis and Advice for Compliance," Bud Pate, REHS, vice president of The Greeley Company, a division of HCPro, Inc., in Marblehead, MA, and Kurt Patton, former Joint Commission executive director of accreditation services and principal of Patton Healthcare Consulting, LLC, in Glendale, AZ, discussed these requirements and the rest of the 2009 NPSGs.
