This Week's Focus: DPH
The Massachusetts Department of Public Health (DPH) will soon be conducting a re-licensure survey of BWH. This unannounced survey will be conducted sometime this coming winter or early spring.
The comprehensive survey will encompass the entire organization from infection control procedures in the Operating Room to emergency response protocols in the Mailroom. Collaboration from all staff will be imperative to ensure the hospital’s success. Because BWH hasn’t experienced a survey of this breadth in more than a decade, a list of frequently asked questions has been developed in an attempt to alleviate any concerns staff may have. Visit the “Compliance Corner” page of www.bwhpikenotes.org to view this list and other helpful resources.
From now until the DPH re-licensure survey takes place, look for regular articles in future issue of BWH Bulletin. These are intended to help staff assess their readiness for this upcoming survey.
