Do You Bike to Work? Bike Cages Available at BWH

Joint Commission Window Now Open

The window is open for our next hospital Joint Commission survey. The Joint Commission can arrive unannounced anytime in the next 18 months (July 2017 to January 2019). We strive for an atmosphere in which we are always ready for every patient. Regulations focus on quality and patient safety, and the way we take care of our patients each day should be reflective of that. Visit the Continual Readiness page on BWH PikeNotes to learn more.

Aware Because We Care

The hospital recently created an Access Control policy that requires all employees to be responsible for ensuring that no one enters an area under their ID badge access without permission. To view the policy, campaign videos, FAQs and other resources, visit BWHPikeNotes.org.
