Throughout Beth Israel Medical Center, teams of physicians, nurses and other providers are working diligently to improve areas of care delivery beyond the Core Measures. While many of our initiatives are aligned with those of other hospitals nationwide, some are tailored to meet the special needs of you, our patients, and the communities we serve. Sharing the goals and results of these initiatives with you is just as important to us as reporting our Core Measure accomplishments.
