Narrative for Brigham and Women's Hospital

Our staff is committed to improving the quality and safety of our patients’ experience at Brigham and Women's Hospital. The public posting of our planned and actual staffing plans and our comments allow us to present a picture of our hospital performance. It also provides us with the opportunity to learn from each other to continuously improve care.
Our average daily census increased throughout the fiscal year and additional beds were opened. Positions were created to accommodate the increased census. Temporary staff has been utilized to augment unit staffing until new permanent staff were hired.
