- Baystate Medical Center has a reputation as a quality hospital that promotes the highest level of patient safety. This is due to the importance that we place on quality measurement.
View the 2009 Annual Quality Report.
- BMC participates with the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) to test how we can measure quality and how quality measures might impact hospital reimbursement. We measured and improved quality in over 34 different areas as part of the CMS Hospital Quality Incentive Project.
