Joint Commission Accreditation
Our Commitment to Quality and Safety
Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center is accredited by The Joint Commission, an independent organization that sets national standards for safe, high-quality care.
Accreditation means that our hospital meets or exceeds these standards in areas such as patient safety, quality of care, and the environment where care is provided. The Joint Commission regularly reviews hospitals like ours to confirm we are meeting these expectations.
Why Accreditation Matters
The Joint Commission’s standards focus on:
- Quality of Care – making sure patients receive the best possible treatment and support.
- Patient Safety – creating an environment that protects patients from harm.
- Continuous Improvement – finding ways to improve care and services over time.
Accreditation is one way we show our commitment to you and your family. It helps ensure we are always working to provide safe, effective, and respectful care.
Contacting The Joint Commission
The Joint Commission recommends that anyone with a safety or quality-of-care concern first contact BIDMC Patient Relations at 617-975-9750 so we can work with you to resolve the issue. If your concern is not resolved to your satisfaction, you may then contact The Joint Commission.
