  • Title: JCAHO's safety goals--the clock is ticking, will your ED be compliant?
    Journal: ED Manag; 2005 Jul; 17(7):73-5. PubMed ID: 16022229.
    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.
