A few days ago, the NQF released its 2009 Update of a previously released consensus report: Safe Practices for Better Healthcare.
The following is an excerpt of the document description posted on the NQF website:
Safe Practices for Better Healthcare—2009 Update presents 34 practices that have been demonstrated to be effective in reducing the occurrence of adverse healthcare events. This revised set of NQF-endorsed safe practices has been updated with current evidence and expanded implementation approaches, and it provides additional measures for assessing the implementation of the practices.
As of today, only the electronic pdf version of the report is available. You can buy it here for $29.99.
A free summary report is here.
Did you miss out on the 2006 version? ...Not sure if your hospital can pay you back the $30? You can download the 2006 version for free at: http://www.qualityforum.org/pdf/projects/safe-practices/SafePractices2006UpdateFINAL.pdf
Interestingly, a quick Internet search will reveal the draft version of the 2009 version here.
