Patient care, safety and satisfaction
Patients and families have a right to know about the quality of care they receive at New Ulm Medical Center. That’s why we monitor the quality of our care constantly and use it to guide our quality improvement initiatives. Our standards of care are based on suggestions by non-profit and governmental institutions that base their recommendations on scientific knowledge and research.
We voluntarily participate in several state and national initiatives that allow us to show our performance using information technology for real time viewing and comparisons.
As part of our commitment to provide exceptional care, we regularly report on care improvement and safety efforts, and survey our patients about the care they received. See how New Ulm Medical Center and other Allina Health facilities rate.
