BWH successfully completed an extensive periodic performance review (PPR) as required by the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations (JCAHO) thanks to Karen Nelson, former executive director of Clinical Compliance and Ailish Wilkie, Quality and Patient Safety project manager. Nelson and Wilkie led this comprehensive, hospital-wide assessment that scrutinized more than 2,300 items with which BWH must comply to be fully accredited by the JCAHO. More than 50 BWHers, including 14 chapter captains, made significant contributions to the analysis and reporting of these standards during a six-month span.
