Your group is a task force that has been created to help lead performance improvement efforts. Your team has specifically been given the task of reviewing this year's Joint Commission National Patient Safety Goals (NPSG). Locate the latest goals on the Joint Commission website (http://www.jointcommission.org/standards_information/npsgs.aspx). Your team must pick five goals (one goal should relate to medications) to help the hospital start monitoring.
(The Ambulatory Healthcare, Behavioral Healthcare and Critical Access Hospital ARE THE ONLY THREE BROCHURES I NEED)!!!!!!!!!!! From the site
For each of the five goals that your team has chosen:
- List the NPSG goal
- Identify which department in the hospital should be responsible for monthly monitoring

Your team will be responsible for presentation of the NPSG goals to each department at their departmental meetings.
