Abstract
After 2 years of reviewing current research and studies on patient safety, the National Quality Forum released its evidence-based consensus report listing 30 "safe practices for better healthcare" at a meeting in Los Angeles. The forum's president and CEO, Kenneth Kizer, calls the report "basically a road map for safety" that can be used in not only hospitals but also other healthcare facilities such as nursing homes and ambulatory care settings.
