This document outlines the International Patient Safety Goals which are intended to promote improvements in patient safety. It discusses six key goals: 1) Identifying patients correctly, 2) Improving communication, 3) Improving safety of high-alert medications, 4) Ensuring correct procedures for surgery, 5) Reducing healthcare-associated infections, and 6) Reducing falls. For each goal, it provides a brief description of the goal and requirements for implementation. The overall purpose is to highlight areas of risk in healthcare and provide evidence-based solutions to improve patient safety.

Summary.

3. Why Patient safety Goals
1. To promote specific improvements in
patient safety.
2. To highlight problematic areas in
health care and describe evidence- and
expert-based consensus solutions to
these problems.

4. List of Goals.
Goal 1: Identify Patients Correctly.
Goal 2: Improve Effective Communication.
Goal 3: Improve the Safety of High-Alert Medications.
Goal 4: Ensure Correct-Site, Correct-Procedure,
Correct-Patient Surgery.
Goal 5: Reduce the Risk of Health Care–Associated
Infections.
Goal 6: Reduce the Risk of Patient Harm Resulting
from Falls.

5. Goal 1: Identify Patients
Correctly.
Using at least two (2) ways to identify a patient.
1. Patient full Name “ ask the patient’s what’s your name”
2. patient medical record number ( MRN).
 The patient's room number and location cannot be used
to identify the patient.
 Patients are identified when:
1.Giving medicines, blood or blood products.
2.Taking blood samples and other specimens for
clinical testing.
3.Providing any other treatments or procedures.

6. Goal 2: Improve Effective
Communication.

7. verbal and telephone
communications.
verbaL Communication:-
• The Receiver does the Following:
 Document the order immediately on the Physician
order sheet ( Including date and time , Physician
name & pager no. ) .
• Telephone Communication:-
USING ISBAR.

9.  The Receiver does the Following:
Document the order immediately on the
Physician order sheet ( Including date and time ,
Physician name & pager no. ) .
CALL ANOTHER STAFF TO REPEATS
THE ORDER TO THE DOTOR THEN

10. Goal 3: Improve the Safety
of High-Alert Medications.

11.  High-alert medications
are those medications
involved in a high
percentage of errors
and/or sentinel events,
medications that carry a
higher risk for adverse
outcomes, as well as
look-alike, sound-alike
medications.

12. Goal 4: Ensure Correct-Site,
Correct-Procedure, Correct-Patient
Surgery.

13. >Marking the correct surgical site.
>Pre- operative verification
process.
> Conduct time out process.

14. Goal 5: Reduce the Risk of Health
Care–Associated Infections.

15. 1- Hand washing:

16. 2- infection control practices to include:
(5) moment of hand hygiene

17. 3-Use PPE
Personal protective equipment

18. Goal 6: Reduce the Risk of Patient Harm
Resulting from Falls.
Fall unexpected change in
position that causes person to
land on an object on the floor or
other lower level ( witnessed),
or is reported to have landed on
the ground ( unwitnessed).

19. Assessment
 All patients should be assessed
on Admission TIME.
RE-Assessment
 Whenever changes in patients
status noted.
 Whenever a fall occurs.
 Whenever being transfer to
another Unit.
Using Morse Fall Scale (Adult),
and Little Schimdy ( 0-12). Of age

20. THERE IS 3 LOGO OF FALL:
GREEN ( 0 – 24 )
YELLOW ( 25 – 44 )
RED ( 45 AND HIGH)
Preventive Interventions through:
1. Communication .
2. Environment.
