The National Patient Safety Goals Template

Please choose three current national patient safety goals. Navigate to the Joint Commission website and choose one of the following areas that closest matches your area of practice:

· Hospital

· Ambulatory Health

· Assisted Living

· Behavioral Health

· Critical Access Hospital

· Home Care

· Nursing Care Center (LTC, Nursing Home)

Please be sure to choose the “Simplified” version of the NPSG; retired NPSG’s should not be used.

After selecting one of the areas, that closest matches your are of practice, please complete the following table:

Nursing Specialty

State your nursing specialty and the type of facility where you practice. For example, a Med/Surg RN practicing in an acute care facility.

Chapter

Identify the appropriate NPSG Chapter for your current area of practice.

NPSG 1

For the first selected NPSG, provide the year, name, and number of each goal and in your own words provide a brief description of the NPSG.

NPSG 2

For the second selected NPSG, provide the year, name, and number of each goal and in your own words provide a brief description of the NPSG.

NPSG 3

For the third selected NPSG, provide the year, name, and number of each goal and in your own words provide a brief description of the NPSG.

NPSG Priority

Choose one NPSG that you believe is a priority for your facility. Support your experiences, thoughts, and ideas with evidence from the literature.

Reflection

Reflect on the role of nurses and ensuring patient safety. How does adherence to the National Patient Safety Goals contribute to a culture of safety in the healthcare setting?

Real-World Example

Find and analyze a real-world example where the failure to meet one of the current NPSG’s resulted in an adverse event. Discuss the consequences and lessons learned. You may choose an incident in your facility (Remember your HIPAA responsibility and be sure to remove any identifying patient information). You may also choose an example from the media or professional literature.

Safety Grade

The Leapfrog Hospital safety grade is a public service provided by the Leapfrog Group, a nonprofit organization focused on healthcare quality and safety. The safety grade is designed to assess in grade hospitals in the United States based on their performance in preventing medical errors, injuries, infections and other aspects of patient safety. Nearly 3,000 hospitals are issued a Safety Grade twice per year. Navigate to the Leapfrog Group’s webpage. Enter your zip code and choose a facility in your city to complete the following:

Name of facility:

Overall facility safety grade?

What areas have been identified as needing improvement? Please list the top three areas.

1.

2.

3.

Evidence-Based Interventions

Consider three potential evidence-based interventions that might be implemented based on your local hospital safety grade. Please cite your sources.
