The NPSG focus on specific goals each year. The goals for 2018 included: identify patients correctly, improve staff communication, improve the safety of using medications, reduce harm associated with clinical alarm systems, reduce risk of health care-associated infections and the hospital identifies safety risks inherent in its patient population. Although treating chronic infections quickly is important, it is not an NPSG.
