Quality and Safety
At Northwest Health - La Porte, we're dedicated to providing excellent care for our patients and to creating a safe work environment for our practitioners and staff. Providing quality care with a personal touch is our top priority.
Several years ago, Northwest Health - La Porte embarked on a very important journey of becoming a High Reliability Organization (HRO). The premise of an HRO is to ensure quality and safety for every patient we care for. To further our commitment to be an HRO, we have shared our CMS Hospital Compare 5 Star information here.
One of our many priorities is the reduction of patient falls. Read about our approach and see some of our data from summer 2021 here.

One of the many quality initiatives central to the quality care our hospital provides is hand hygiene. Our efforts include ongoing education for every colleague and frequent monitoring to track our success or opportunities for improvement. Our hand hygiene efforts are based on a clear commitment from our chief executive officer, chief nursing officer and chief medical officer.
