ASSIGNMENT:

Regulatory and licensing requirements vary from state to state. Research your state's hospital licensing requirements. Select one requirement and compare it to the Medicare Conditions of Participation. After you discuss a state requirement and compare it to Medicare's CoP, perform some research on The Joint Commission's requirements for the facilities that they provide services to. Under 'Standards,' choose 'National Patient Safety Goals,' then choose one of the National Patient Safety Goal(s) (e.g., ambulatory health, behavioral health, critical access hospital). Select the simplified version to read/describe. Give a brief overview (two or three sentences) of what the National Patient Safety Goals are under The Joint Commission in general, and what the goals are for the current year for the type of facility you chose.
