OBJECTIVES
Upon completion of this competency, the learner will be able to:
1. Identify the main purpose of the Joint Commission National Patient Safety Goals (NPSGs).
2. Name the three (3) patient identifiers used at AIMMC to
promote patient safety.
3. Review the purpose, process and importance of medication reconciliation.
4. Apply each of the National Patient Safety Goals to
practice.
3
The purpose of the Joint Commission’s National Patient Safety Goals
(NPSGs) is to promote specific improvements in
patient safety.
4
GOAL # 1Improve the Accuracy of
Patient Identification– We will be moving towards using 3
identifiers• Name• Medical Record Number• Date of Birth
– You know your patients HOWEVER, we are only human. Therefore;
• Confirm patient identifiers prior to administering meds, performing ALL procedures or when transporting to other areas, etc.
5
GOAL # 1Improve the Accuracy of Patient
Identification
• Eliminate transfusion errors related to patient misidentification.
• FOLLOW TWO PERSON VERIFICATION PROCESS USING THREE IDENTIFIERS
AND TWO QUALIFIED ASSOCIATES!
6
IDENTIFICATION OF IDENTIFICATION OF PATIENTSPATIENTS
Patient Safety Question?
What are the 3 patient
identifiers used at IMMC?
7
IDENTIFICATION OF IDENTIFICATION OF PATIENTSPATIENTS
Patient Safety Answer:
The Pt Name, DOB
&
Medical Record # on the armband

ARMBANDSARMBANDS
Patient Safety Question?
Name 3 occasions when you
should check the patient’s armband?
9
ARMBANDSARMBANDSPatient Safety Answer:
Every time you interact with the patient!!! For example:
• At the beginning of your shift.
• Before administering a med.
• Before administering a blood product.
• Before performing any procedure.
• Comparing the chart order before transporting a patient off the unit.
10
GOAL #2Improve the effectiveness of
Communication among Caregivers
• “Read-back” all verbal orders, telephone orders and critical test results to confirm accuracy.
• Reporting of critical values in a timely manner.• Standardize the abbreviations, acronyms and symbols
and eliminate unacceptable abbreviations• Implement a standard approach to “Hand off”
communications, including an opportunity to ask and respond to questions

Handoff communication: follow the 5 P’s & include time to ask and answer questions
• Handoff Situations:– Nursing or allied health shift to shift report– Transfer of care between nurses or allied health to
physician transfer of care – Clinician providing temporary coverage – Interdepartmental handoffs, such as the nursing unit to
Imaging, PACU to the nursing unit: RN to complete Hall Pass tool to communicate information to the other caregivers.
– Transfers of the patient within units of the hospital• 5 P’s
– Patient– Plan– Purpose– Problem– Precautions
GOAL #2 Improve the effectiveness of Communication among Caregivers cont.
16
Patient Safety Question?
What is the process of communicating relevant
patient information to another clinician?
GOAL #2 Improve the effectiveness of Communication among Caregivers cont.
17
Patient Safety Answer:
“Handoff”
GOAL #2 Improve the effectiveness of Communication among Caregivers cont.
The RN is responsible for completing the
Hall Pass or Patient Transport Tool when the patient leaves the floor
18
• Remove concentrated electrolytes from patient care areas.
• Limit the number of drug concentrations.
• Take action to prevent errors with look-alike/sound alike drugs.
• Label syringes, cups and containers on procedure trays
GOAL #3 Improve the Safe Use of
Medications
19
Goal # 3: Medication Safety
Reduce the likelihood of patient harm associated with the use of anticoagulant therapy.
Monitor PT/INR when patients are on CoumadinMonitor PTT when patients are receiving IV HeparinEducate patient/family on anticoagulation therapyIndividualize care provided to each patient receiving
anti-coagulant therapy
20
Goal # 7: Reduce the Risk of Health Care Acquired
Infections
• Comply with Hand-Hygiene Guidelines– Hands, wrists, and forearms are washed for at
least 15 seconds with soap and water– Alcohol hand-rubs are appropriate for rapid hand
decontamination between patients when hands are
not soiled. – Refer to: Hand Hygiene Policy (90.017.038)
• It is considered a sentinel event if a health care acquired infection (HAI) leads to death or major permanent loss.
21
• Implement evidence-based practices to prevent health care acquired infections (HAI) due to multiple drug-resistant organisms (MDRO) in acute care hospitals.
• Implement best practices or evidence-based guidelines to prevent central line-associated bloodstream infections, surgical site infections, ventilator-associated pneumonia, and catheter-associated urinary tract infections.
• All associates must be educated annually on MDROs, and HAI infection prevention strategies.

Goal # 7: Reduce the Risk of Health Care Acquired
Infections
24
• NEW!! We must educate our patients regarding infection prevention strategies. – All patients need basic infection prevention education.– Isolation patients need isolation and isolatable organism
education. – Patients with a central line, urinary catheter, ventilator,
or surgical site need device/procedure related infection prevention education.

Goal 8: Accurately and completely reconcile medications across the continuum of care
• Medication Reconciliation is the process of verifying patient’s medication
26
Goal 8: Accurately and completely reconcile medications across the
continuum of care cont.
• Document a complete list of the patient’s current medications on admission, and compare this to the medications provided by the facility.
• Communicate this complete list whenever the patient’s care is transferred to anther area, setting, or healthcare provider.
27
What process would have caught this error before it
reached the patient?
• A nurse entered home medications for a patient based on ER documentation which included lasix and furosemide. The Admitting resident ordered “resume all meds” and both were ordered.
Patient Safety Question?
Goal 8: Accurately and completely reconcile medications across the
continuum of care cont.

• Provide Surgical Infection, Patient Identification and Surgical Site Marking Educational Materials, as applicable.
37
Goal # 13: Encourage Patient’s Active Involvement
in Plan of Care cont.
– Provide the information to the patient and/or family on the day the patient enters the hospital or within 24 to 48 hours
– Evaluate and document the patient’s understanding of this information.
38
Goal # 15: Risk for Suicide
The organization identifies patients at risk for suicide.
• All patients presenting at the All patients presenting at the Emergency Department will be Emergency Department will be screened by the nurse for suicide risk screened by the nurse for suicide risk
•The admitting RN will ask the suicide The admitting RN will ask the suicide screening question on patientsscreening question on patients
•Implement Suicide Precautions Implement Suicide Precautions immediately if the patient is at risk of immediately if the patient is at risk of harming selfharming self

Goal #16: Improve recognition and response to changes in a patient’s
condition. The organization selects a suitable
method that enables health care staff members to directly request additional assistance from a specially trained individual(s) when the patient’s condition appears to be worsening.
At AIMMC, staff can directly request additional help from
the
Rapid Response Team (RRT), a specially trained team, if the patient’s condition worsens.

Patient Safety Answer:
44
Universal Protocol, the Three Steps…
Step 1:
The preoperative/procedure VERIFICATION process
-Correct patient
-Correct Procedure
-Correct Site
Step 2:
The operative/procedure site MARKING
Step 3:
A ‘TIME OUT’ immediately before starting the procedure
2009 JCAHO National Patient Safety Goals
cont.
45
Marking the site
The operating physician/surgeon discusses surgery/procedure with patient, verifies and confirms site with consent form and patient’s statement of planned procedure
46
Rule of thumb: Anything that may require a consent and/or is a “high risk” procedure requires a TIME-OUT
Don’t forget! The “TIME-OUT process applies to procedures OUTSIDE the OR as well!
