a. saving lives through improvements in safety and effectiveness of care.
b. delivering reliable evidence-based care for acute myocardial infarctions.
c. the evaluation of the effects of actions in relation to phenomena.
d. preventing adverse drug-related events by medication reconciliation.
A
The primary goal of the 100,000 Lives Campaign, launched in 2004 by the Institute of Healthcare
Improvement (IHI), is to save 100,000 lives among hospitalized patients through improvements in
safety and effectiveness of care. Delivering reliable EB care for acute myocardial infarctions and
preventing adverse drug events through medication reconciliation are two of the targeted intervention
identified, but they are not the primary goals themselves. The evaluation of the effects of actions in
relation to phenomena is one of the defining characteristics of nursing from the 1980 ANA Social
Policy Statement.
