The text “Patient Safety Handbook” by Youngberg discusses the contributions made to patient safety by The Joint Commission (TJC).
1. Provide the intent around The Joint Commission’s creation of the “Patient Safety Systems” chapter document. Describe what a patient safety system is and what it accomplishes.
2. Discuss the role of hospital leaders in patient safety, including the safety culture.
3. Define the elements of the Leadership standard LD.03.01.01. For each element, describe:
-What actions/outcomes was TJC trying to correct with this standard?
-How it can be implemented?
-What tools do you use to measure it?
-Who is responsible for implementation and measurement?
-What would success look like?
