A team of surveyors from the Joint Commission on the Accreditation of Health Care Organizations (JCAHO) arrived on Monday to conduct its unannounced, five-day hospital survey and 10-day laboratory survey of BWH.
“Thank you to everyone at BWH who cooperated with the Joint Commission surveyors,” said BWH President Gary Gottlieb, MD, MBA. “I am confident the surveyors will come away from BWH impressed with our professionalism and commitment to delivering the safest care to our patients.”
This week’s survey marks the first time BWH participated in an unannounced JCAHO survey for the hospital’s triennial accreditation review. The surveyors employed JCAHO’s tracer methodology to review and assess BWH’s continuum of care.
