How Saint Mary's Measures Quality
Saint Mary's partners with a variety of public and private organizations focused on quality improvement. Among them is HealthInsight, Nevada's Medicare-contracted quality improvement organization, which analyzes publicly available data to determine how hospitals treat patients whose symptoms are categorized under four areas of chief concern:
- Heart Attack
- Heart Failure
- Pneumonia
- Surgical Infection Prevention
When evaluating how hospitals respond to patients whose symptoms fall within these categories, Saint Mary's ranks among the top hospitals in Nevada and is first in Northern Nevada.
