Poudre Valley Hospital on Thursday received a top award from the nation’s leading nurse association.
The American Nurses Association, which represents 3.1 million nurses in the U.S., presented the Fort Collins hospital with the Award for Outstanding Nursing Quality at a conference in Las Vegas. It was the fifth year in a row that the hospital was recognized for nurses’ accomplishments in patient care and safety, according to a Poudre Valley news release.
The award was based on the association’s National Database of Nursing Quality Indicators, the release said. The database is used to validate the quality of nursing care nationwide and in local hospitals. Poudre Valley was one of six hospitals to receive an award.
“The award-winning hospitals recognize the importance of basing their nursing care strategies on data showing what produced the best results for patients,” Karen A. Daley, ANA president, said in the release. “They are committed to continuous improvement, outstanding teamwork, effective leadership and evidence-based practices.”
Poudre Valley employs 1,001 registered nurses.
