Despite several years of focusing on ways to minimize mistakes in healthcare and to reduce adverse patient outcomes, health organizations continue to struggle to create error-free healthcare delivery systems (Good & Phillips, 2020).

Assignment Directions
Step 1 - Prepare to Write the Initial Post:
A. Read Chapter 20, by Good and Phillips, of the Friberg text.
B. Review faculty feedback from APA assignment earlier in the course.
C. Review The Joint Commission’s (TJC’s) National Patient Safety Goals (NPSGs) categories listed on the following webpage:
https://www(dot)jointcommission(dot)org/standards_information/npsgs.aspx (Links to an external site.)
Please explain all abbreviations in your posts as given above.

Click on a category link of interest to you to find a specific NPSG.##.##.## for your post. You must name the NPSG number that includes the periods.
Please note the title of the pdf chapter or webpage, the URL, and the copyright year after you have clicked the category link and found the pdf file listing the Goals and NPSGs. If you do not see a copyright year on the pdf or webpage, use n.d. without any extra spacing between the initials. The Joint Commission (TJC) will be the author and publisher. The full work is the YEAR National Patient Safety Goals. Be sure to note the pdf’s page on which your selected NPSG was printed or the paragraph if you chose the NPSG from a webpage. These items will be needed for your chapter or webpage citation and reference.
a. For example, if you clicked the “Hospital” link and then the “Download Chapter” link in the given year, you would find the following chapter pdf:
The Joint Commission. (Year). National patient safety goals effective Month Year for the hospital program. Year National patient safety goals. https://etc (URL for pdf file)
Please note the chapter title is lowercase and not italicized. If there is a secondary title, add it after a colon. Example: Xxx xxx xxx: Xxxx xxx. The full work title follows and is lowercase and italicized. No publisher is given, because it is the author.
You may choose a different category other than the hospital, if desired.
If you chose a webpage rather than the pdf, the title would be lowercase and italicized. You would add the URL.
Governmental Agency or Author, X. X. (Year, Month, Day). Name of webpage. http or https://xxxxxxxxxx
If you explained the TJC abbreviation earlier in the post, the first citation would be (TJC, Year, p. 1) for direct quotes.
The first citation would be (The Joint Commission [TJC], Year, p. 1) if the abbreviation had not been explained earlier in the post, and the subsequent citations would be (TJC, Year, p. 1) for direct quotes. Only use the abbreviation if you will use it at least 3 times.
b. On the first page of this pdf you will see the number and description of a specific National Patient Safety Goal:
“NPSG.01.01.01–Use at least two patient identifiers when providing care, treatment, and services” (TJC, Year, p. 1).
Please note that you must place the NPSG number that includes periods and the description within quotation marks and cite.

D. Select The Joint Commission (TJC) and one (1) National Patient Safety Goal (NPSG) for your initial post. For the purposes of this discussion, you need to write about a one (1) specific NPSG.##.##.## .
For example:
National Healthcare Organization - The Joint Commission
Patient Safety Initiative – Specific National Patient Safety Goal
“NPSG.01.01.01–Use at least two patient identifiers when providing care, treatment, and services” (TJC, Year, p. 1).
Do not place this information in the post as a list, rather include this information in a sentence in your post.

Step 2 – Review the attached grading rubric.
Place this rubric next to you and follow it carefully to earn all possible points.

Step 3 – Review the APA 7th Edition Latest Handout, Helpful Web Links for the APA 7th Edition, and 7th Edition PowerPoints under Links & Tools.
