Joint Commission releases 2007 NPSGs

摘要

The 2007 National Patient Safety Goals (NPSGs) recently announced by the Joint Commission on the Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations (JCAHO) do not at first glance seem to impose any onerous requirements on quality managers - nor do they seem to call for any dramatic changes in what are probably fairly standard practices. However, notes one quality expert, the "devil is in the details" when it comes to compliance, and when you drill down beyond the basic standard outlines, the picture becomes more murky.
