The Nevada Hospital Association and its member hospitals want to help you make informed decisions about your health care choices through public reporting of quality performance measures and pricing. As such, we are committed to delivering information that is practical and useful, can play an important role in driving improvements in patient safety and quality and can help control health care costs.

This web site includes nationally recognized hospital performance measures from the CMS Hospital Compare site and includes results from the National Hospital Safety Network (NHSN) for infections. The information is combined here for the consumer's convenience and to verify accuracy.

The Nevada Hospital Association continually adds and retires measure results as reliable and comparable information is made available nationally. Measures are developed based on high-volume, high-risk criteria

As you review the information included in this site, keep in mind that individuals have different needs and hospitals have different strengths. This website should be viewed as another source of information you can use to raise questions and should be used in conjunction with your physician's or surgeon's advice. These results do not take the place of conversations between the patient and provider. The importance of communicating with the physician, nurses, and other members of the health care team cannot be understated.

They help you and your health care provider make informed decisions about treatment options and care, leading to better health outcomes. They also allow Nevadans to learn more about the quality of healthcare available to them by making evidence-based information accessible and easier to understand. For hospitals, these results encourage continuous improvement in performance, which ultimately enhances the overall quality of patient care. In addition, employers and insurers can use this information to design more effective and beneficial health coverage plans. Finally, policymakers can rely on these results to measure and monitor hospital quality across the state, helping guide decisions that improve the health care system for everyone.

Some quality measure data is updated on a quarterly basis, while other measures are refreshed annually. To ensure accuracy and relevance, the website is reviewed and updated every quarter to incorporate the most recent available data. Here is the website that lists the data reporting collection periods for CMS.
