Press Ganey’s National Database of Nursing Quality Indicators^™ (NDNQI) is used to benchmark performance on various nurse-sensitive indicators (NSIs) against national averages. This allows nurses to assess their impact on patient outcomes and create strategies for improvement when necessary.

The graphs below, which show 2022 organization-level performance on four key inpatient quality measures and one ambulatory quality measure, demonstrate outperformance of the national benchmarks on all five of these measures. Great progress has been made in promoting a data-driven culture with a focus on improving unit- and organization-level patient outcomes. The graphs represent the commitment to excellence and performance improvement efforts made by our nurses and staff.

NDNQI Definitions

A patient fall is a sudden, unintentional descent with or without injury that results in the patient coming to rest on the floor or against some other surface. Falls with injury is defined as rate of falls with injury (minor, moderate, major and death) per 1,000 patient days.

The hospital-acquired pressure injury (HAPI) Stage 2 and above prevalence measure is the percent of patients on a unit found to have a Stage 2 or greater pressure injury, that was acquired (developed) after admission to the hospital, during the Pressure Ulcer/Restraint Point Prevalence Survey, out of the total number of patients surveyed on that unit.

Central line-associated bloodstream infection (CLABSI) is the rate of hospital-acquired central line-associated blood stream infections per 1,000 central line days.

Catheter-associated urinary tract infection (CAUTI) is the rate of hospital-acquired catheter-associated urinary tract infections per 1,000 catheter days.
