· Hospital

· Ambulatory 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:

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

NPSG Priority

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.
