Joint Commission National Patient Safety Goals

Posted on by Mary Smith

Is your facility ready for Joint Commission?  Are you accredited by ACHC?  Have you implemented the National Patient Safety Goals?  Educating staff and licensed independent practitioners who are involved in managing central lines are listed in the Elements of Performance.  “Education needs to occur upon hire, annually thereafter, and when involvement in these procedures is added to an individuals’s job responsibilities”.   The goal is to reduce the risk of health care-associated infections.  Build a team of experts to implement and maintain this practice in your facility.
