Compliance Survey Central
This Month's Focus:DPH
The Massachusetts Department of Public Health (DPH) soon will conduct a re-licensure
survey of BWH. This unannounced survey will be conducted sometime this winter
or early spring.
This comprehensive survey encompasses the entire organization from infection
control procedures in the Operating Room to emergency response protocols in
the Mailroom. Collaboration by all staff is 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 staff concerns. Visit the “Compliance Corner”
page of www.bwhpikenotes.org
to view this list and other helpful resources.
