Quality Partners

We take quality seriously, which is why Crouse Hospital partners with other third-party agencies to help provide a consistent way to measure healthcare quality. Nationally, Crouse is a supporter of the Healthcare Quality Alliance (HQA), a coalition of providers, consumer and employer advocate groups and government agencies, who collaborated to create the Hospital Compare Web site.

Many organizations are interested in monitoring the quality of care provided by hospitals and medical groups, including federal and state agencies, employer coalitions and health plans. They use this information to ensure that patients receive care that is safe and effective.  Our quality is also monitored and reported by state and federal agencies including the New York State Department of Health; the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS); DNV Healthcare (Det Norske Veritas), a leading national healthcare accrediting organization; The Joint Commission for Addiction Treatment Services; and OASAS, New York State’s Office of Addiction Services and Supports.
