Medical errors have recently been recognized as a significant cause of thousands of unnecessary injuries and deaths in the United States. As part of the general response aimed at reducing medical errors, patient safety has taken on a more critical role. The Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations (JCAHO) has developed a new patient safety initiative to address some of these problems. This program looks at this initiative and describes what steps nurses can take to help ensure patient safety.

In this course, you will review the seven safety goals that have been identified for implementation by 2004, plus the 13 measures that will be required to meet these goals.
