National Nursing News | Joint Commission, Eight Hospitals Target Patient Safety Failures

"The Joint Commission and eight hospitals and health systems from around the country have joined together to fight dangerous breakdowns in patient care by launching the Center for Transforming Healthcare. The first initiative of the group will be targeting hand-washing failures, which cause infections that kill nearly 100,000 people in the U.S. annually and cost hospitals as much as $29 billion."
