Medical errors have recently been recognized as a significant cause of thousands of unnecessary injuries and deaths in the United States.

The Joint Commission has developed a resident safety initiative to address some of these problems. This program looks at this initiative and describes what steps nurses working in long term care settings can take to help ensure resident safety.
