Course Description
The goal of this program is to define and discuss the Joint Commission's National Patient Safety Goals for 2025, including the problems and concerns that have led to its implementation. The program provides a detailed review of the various patient safety goals that have been identified for implementation, plus the Elements of Performance that will be required to meet these goals.
