On June 2, 2006, the Joint Commission’s Board of Commissioners approved the 2007 National Patient Safety Goals (NPSGs). The goals and requirements for each accreditation program are available on the Joint Commission website. As of January 1, 2007, all The Joint Commission accredited health care organizations and the Disease-Specific Care certified programs will be surveyed for implementation of applicable 2007 goals and requirements—or acceptable alternatives (see below)—as appropriate to the services the organization or program provides.
