2010 Hospital National Patient Safety Goals
The purpose of the National Patient Safety Goals is to improve patient safety. The Goals focus on problems in health care safety and how to solve them.
Goal 1:Identify patients correctly
Use at least two ways to identify patients. For example, use the patient’s name and date of birth. This is done to make sure that each patient gets the medicine and treatment meant for them.
Make sure that the correct patient gets the correct blood type when they get a blood transfusion.
Goal 2:Improve staff communication
Quickly get important test results to the right staff person.
Goal 3:Use medicines safely
Label all medicines that are not already labeled. For example, medicines in syringes, cups and basins.
Take extra care with patients who take medicines to thin their blood.
Goal 4:Prevent infection
Use the hand cleaning guidelines from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention or the World Health Organization.
Use proven guidelines to prevent infections that are difficult to treat.
Use proven guidelines to prevent infection of the blood from central lines.
Use safe practices to treat the part of the body where surgery was done.
Goal 5:Check patient medicines
Find out what medicines each patient is taking. Make sure that it is OK for the patient to take any new medicines with their current medicines.
Give a list of the patient’s medicines to their next caregiver or to their regular doctor before the patient goes home.
Give a list of the patient’s medicines to the patient and their family before they go home. Explain the list.
