National Patient Safety Goals for the Critical Access Hospital Program should evaluate its adherence to the CDC and/or WHO guidelines through a complete program that offers a hand hygiene policy, promotes a culture of hand hygiene, monitors compliance, and offers feedback to
achieve compliance with this National Patient Safety Goal. Staff members who keep an eye on patients at high risk can be trained with this information. The organization should create an action plan that outlines the healthcare gap, the targeted demographic or populations, the organization's improvement objective, the tactics and resources required to reach the objective, and the procedure for tracking and reporting results. Critical access hospitals should always confirm that the procedure being performed is appropriate for the patient and is carried out by the
right individual. The time-out is intended to be used for a last evaluation to ensure that the right patient, technique, and site are identified.
