Answer 1

The type of healthcare facility that is MOST LIKELY to follow the NPSG (National Patient Safety Goal) regarding ensuring that the correct surgery is done in the correct place on the correct patient is an **outpatient center**. Outpatient centers often perform surgical procedures, and thus they are required to adhere to strict safety protocols to prevent errors related to surgeries.
