This document provides an overview of ESR standards that will be presented by Dr. Asmaa Fayez. There are 20 ESR standards across 9 sections that hospitals must fully comply with to ensure patient safety. One such standard is HR.5 which requires that hospitals have a process to properly credential all staff providing patient care by verifying their qualifications, licenses, training and experience in order to provide safe and effective care. This standard aims to improve patient safety by holding hospitals accountable for ensuring all caregivers are qualified.
