Welcome to the Nevada Hospital Association Hospital Performance Page!

Dear Health Care Consumer:

Welcome to Nevada Hospital Association’s health care data site, the leading edge for state reporting of information.

The Nevada Hospital Association’s website gives Nevada’s health care consumers, purchasers and professionals an unprecedented degree of easy-to-access and understandable information on quality, pricing and performance. Good information is key to making sure our health care system works well and in everyone’s interests. We are committed to delivering information that is practical and useful, can play an important role in driving improvements in quality, and can help reduce exploding health costs.

This site will provide information related to licensed health care facilities, information on Medicare, Medicaid and hospital facility data, and more. We’ll continue to expand these offerings considerably in the near future, and we’ll do our best to streamline your searches for information. Additional links are listed on the side bar to give consumers access to many of the national and state agencies who can provide additional data and information. Don’t hesitate to offer feedback: what you like, what you don’t, what you’d like to see.

The future of health care will come from better information. NHA is delighted the time has finally come to make health care more transparent. We recognize our responsibility to the people of this state and we take this challenge very seriously.

Nevada Hospital Association is MEETING Tomorrow's Health Care Challenges TODAY.

Overview of the Nevada Hospital Association Hospital Performance Page

This page includes hospital performance measures for all Nevada hospitals reporting to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). 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 for consumers to use to frame questions they can raise with physicians and hospitals to help them and their families chose the right hospital.

NHA Quality Performance Measures does:

1. Help Nevadans learn more about health care.
2. Make evidence-based health information publicly available and understandable.
3. Assist hospitals in continuously improving their performance, and, thereby, improving the overall quality of care provided to Nevada citizens.
4. Provide information that employers and insurers can use as they design benefit packages.

NHA Quality Performance Measures does not:

1. Provide a full-picture of the overall health care picture in Nevada. NHA Quality Measures is one source; many others are also available and should be consulted before drawing conclusions about the care at any one hospital.
2. 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.
3. Remain static. The data is refreshed at least every six months, and as hospitals continuously improve the quality and safety of their care, it is expected that the data will change.

Specialty hospitals such as Long Term Acute Care, Rehabilitation and Psychiatric Hospitals are not required to report the displayed information to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid (CMS) and therefore we have no database to display their information.
