The American Nurses Association recently recognized six hospitals that participated in ANA’s National Database of Nursing Quality Indicators, three of which are from the Heartland/Midwest region. NDNQI is a national database of nursing-care outcomes measures.
The facilities were honored during the fourth annual NDNQI Data Use Conference Jan. 20-22 in New Orleans. According to the ANA, the recipients demonstrated superior patient outcomes and high nurse job satisfaction on the 18 nursing-sensitive performance indicators tracked by NDNQI, such as hospital-acquired pressure ulcers, patient falls with injury, infections acquired as a result of hospitalization and nurse turnover. The regional winners are:
Poudre Valley Hospital, Fort Collins, Colo. — Teaching. Hospital (three-time recipient)
Columbus (Ind.) Regional Hospital — Community Hospital.
Riley Hospital for Children, Indianapolis — Pediatric Hospital.
