Quality & Patient Safety at Fairview Hospital


Measuring our performance in quality and safety standards give us a way to rate our performance in comparison to other hospitals, state or national trends, and different departments within the organization. 

Hospital Quality Measures are standards of treatment that result in proven benefits when applied to patients. Currently, our hospital is monitoring measures for patients in the areas of Perinatal Care, Influenza Immunization and Inpatient Admission Throughput. These measurements are now widely publicized at major web sites sponsored by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) and The Joint Commission.

Through data management processes, we are able to collect, analyze and report data to determine our level of performance and patient care throughout our hospitals.

Comprehensive clinical management systems have been implemented at Berkshire Health Systems, such as Multidisciplinary Rounds and a Medical Emergency Response Team. 

Visit these links to see how well Fairview Hospital is performing in terms of quality of care and patient safety:

  • Hospital Compare - Provides information that compares how well hospitals perform in certain medical conditions.  
  • The Joint Commission - This new "Quality Check" program reports data for hospitals, nursing homes and other healthcare settings.
  • Leapfrog - Promotes and rates hospitals on four patient safety leaps, including computerized physician order entry, use of intensivists, volume and safe practices.
  • HealthGrades - Uses Medicare and state survey data to calculate a 5-star rating system of hospitals and nursing homes.

ICU Registered Nurse-to-Patient Ratio

Below you will find the links to the quarterly reports which have been provided to the MA Department of Public Health on the ICU Registered Nurse-to-Patient ratio beginning in January 2016.  This reporting ensures that Fairview Hospital is not exceeding the maximum patient assignment of two patients per nurse.
