Joint Commission says BI needs improvement

Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center’s most recent Joint Commission inspection report contained 21 instances in which standards were not met -- eight with a “direct impact” on patients.  Violations included the failure to reassess a patient’s pain for three and a half hours after medication was given and fire safety maintenance problems, including a locked fire exit door. The hospital must comply and take corrective action to meet “direct impact” standards within 45 days. Survey Accreditation Report
