NPSGs being reviewed during 2009
During 2009, The Joint Commission is undertaking an extensive review of the current National Patient Safety Goals and the process for their development. As a result, there will be no new NPSGs developed for 2010. The review is being undertaken in response to concerns about the challenge some Goals represent and the need for additional information about effective approaches to addressing these challenges.
Please see the Related Articles section below for more information on the current review of the NPSGs.
