While we look forward to the opening the North Building in February 2020, there is much to be done to prepare. With your help, we are confident we will exceed all expectation.

Please note that the tours are broken down into medicine and surgery.

New Enterprisewide Patient Identification Policy
Patient safety begins with staff members ensuring that patient identification is accurate and complete. A new Johns Hopkins Medicine Identification of Patients Policy recently took effect across the health system to improve patient identification, from scheduling and registration throughout the continuum of care. The policy, which consolidates 26 unique health system policies, is integral to ensuring that the right patient receives the right care, and their information is documented in the right record.
Please review the JHM Identification of Patients Policy.
