2024 NATIONAL PATIENT SAFETY GOALS
NPSG.01.01.01
• Identify patients correctly



• Use patients name and date of birth


• Make sure correct patient gets the correct medicine and treatment


Improve staff communication
 
NPSG.02.03.01
Get important test results to the right staff person on time.



Use medicines safely
 
NPSG.03.04.01
Before a proceedure, label medicines that are not labeled. For example, medicines in syringes, cups and basins. Do this in the area where medicines and supplies are set up.



NPSG.03.05.01
Take extra care with patients who take medicines to thin their blood.



NPSG.03.06.01
Record and pass along correct information about a patient’s medicines. Find out what medicines the patient is taking. Compare those medicines to new medicines given to the patient. Give the patient written information about the medicines they need to take. Tell the patient it is important to bring their up-to-date list of medicines every time they visit their doctor.



Use Alarms Safely  
NPSG.06.01.01
Make improvements to ensure that alarms on medical equipment are heard and responded to on time.



Prevent infection  
NPSG.07.01.01
Use the hand cleaning guidelines from the Centers of Disease Control and Prevention or the World Health Organization. Set goals for improving hand cleaning



Identify patient safety risks  
NPSG.15.01.01
Reduce the risk for suicide.



Improve health care equity  
NPSG.16.01.01
Improving health care equity is a quality and patient safety priority. For example, health care disparities in the patient population are identified and a written plan describes ways to improve health care equity.



Prevent mistakes in surgery  
UP.01.01.01
Make sure that the correct surgery is done on the correct patient and at the correct place on the patient’s body.



UP.01.02.01
Mark the correct place on the patients body where the surgery is to be done.



UP.01.03.01
Pause before the surgery to make sure that a mistake is not being made.
