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 found at the following site: Source: Conditions for Coverage (CfCs) & Conditions of Participation (CoPs): Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services.

Select the simplified version to read/describe. Give a brief overview (2-3 sentences) of what the National Patient Safety Goals are under the Joint Commission in general, and what the goals are for the current year of the type of facility you chose.
