Over the last year, we have articulated a renewed Vision for Brigham and Women’s and Faulkner Hospitals to provide the best patient care to our patients, to support the growth and development of our staff, and to excel in our educational and teaching programs. Our commitment to these goals requires continuous change and improvement. Many initiatives are underway simultaneously throughout the BW/F to support this Vision.

These activities are targeted at improving the quality and safety of the care we provide, enhancing the service experience and satisfaction of patients throughout the institutions, responding to staff feedback on quality of worklife and professional development, and managing resources in a manner to sustain the institution’s financial health. A new BW/F Improvement Agenda logo has been created to better illustrate such activities.

According to BWH President Gary L. Gottlieb, MD, MBA, “the improvement logo will serve as a visual representation of the relationship among the many improvement initiatives underway at the BWH and Faulkner Hospital campuses. These improvement projects and efforts continue to build a strong foundation for BW/F’s future success,” added Gottlieb.
