Nursing Care

Nursing care at BIDMC is dedicated to providing the highest quality of care and safety to our patients. As part of this commitment, BIDMC nursing puts itself “under the microscope” and monitors several nursing core areas for quality and safety. Below you can see how we are doing in several key aspects of nursing care, including pressure ulcers and patient falls.
