Supporting Implementation of the New Joint Commission NPSG
The Joint Commission National Patient Safety Goal related to anticoagulant therapy has been updated with 6 new Elements of Performance (EPs) To support implementation, the AC Forum has indexed our resources as they relate to each EP and created a Centers of Excellence Resource Center new section – NPSG Elements.
Within this section are search instructions to find specific resources for each EP and a listing of Joint Commission resources including:
- Joint Commission Compendium of Resources with links to specific resources to help support your implementation.
- A two-part webinar series developed by The Joint Commission and the Anticoagulation Forum to share best practices and answer questions about implementation. Both sessions are now available to view.
