JCAHO's safety goals--the clock is ticking, will your ED be compliant?
ED Manag.
2005 Jul.
Abstract
To comply with new safety goals from the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations, use specific processes and policies designed to minimize likelihood of errors. Nurse-to-nurse communication is the preferred method to use when handing off patients. Meet with staff on a regular basis to assess how well you are meeting Joint Commission requirements. Prepackaged medications can help you and your staff meet the new medication labeling goal.
