Compliance Survey Central
This Month’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.
