| • 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 |
|

|
| 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
