The NDNQI Award for Outstanding Nursing Quality honors hospitals that have made impressive and measurable improvements in nursing performance and patient outcomes. The award is given annually to the top performing organization across 17 quality measures in each of seven categories: academic medical center, teaching hospital, community hospital, pediatric hospital, rehabilitation hospital, psychiatric hospital and international. The highest-ranking hospital in each category receives the award.
"We are proud to partner with Nicklaus Children’s,” said Patrick T. Ryan, CEO of Press Ganey. “Achieving and sustaining excellence in nursing-sensitive quality measures reflects their deep commitment to delivering high quality compassionate and patient-centered care in South Florida.”

Our team has a longstanding commitment to evidence-based practice and has lead safety initiatives that are now in use across the country. I am proud to be part of such an outstanding group of nurses.”
