Vizient is the nation's largest healthcare performance improvement organization and counts 97 percent of academic medical centers in the United States as members.

Excellent quality and safety standards are the hallmarks of our facility and reflect a culture committed to excellence and the best outcomes for our patients, regardless of where in our system they receive care.

Also of note, NYU Langone Hospital—Brooklyn and NYU Langone Hospital—Long Island were each ranked in the top 10 Birnbaum Quality Leadership rankings of specialized complex care medical centers.

The Bernard A. Birnbaum, MD, Quality Leadership Award

The Bernard A. Birnbaum, MD, Quality Leadership Award ranks NYU Langone No. 1 out of 107 comprehensive academic medical centers for excellence in providing high-quality inpatient care in 6 areas: safety, mortality, effectiveness, efficiency, patient focus, and equity.

NYU Langone consistently ranks high in the Quality Leadership Award, but this is the first time since 2015 that the hospital has ranked at the top of both this and the Ambulatory Quality and Accountability Award.

The Ambulatory Quality and Accountability Award

Vizient's Ambulatory Quality and Accountability Award honors NYU Langone as the No. 1 medical practice out of 55 networks. NYU Langone has been ranked among the top performers in ambulatory care each year since the award's inception in 2015, recognizing its excellence in providing high-quality care in five key areas: access to care, quality, efficiency, continuity of care, and equity. NYU Langone's outpatient network consists of more than 320 locations throughout the New York metropolitan area and Florida.

“NYU Langone continues to expand the breadth and depth of our services so patients can access the highest quality primary and specialty care in their own communities,” says Andrew W. Brotman, MD, senior vice president and vice dean for clinical affairs and strategy, chief clinical officer at NYU Langone. “We improve overall health by providing the best physicians and services in the communities we serve.”

One system, one standard

The fully integrated hospital system, NYU Langone Health, has been widely recognized by rating agencies for its unparalleled quality and safety metrics. U.S. News & World Report named NYU Langone the No. 1 hospital in New York and No. 3 in the nation. Earlier this year, NYU Grossman School of Medicine ranked second nationally for research on U.S. News & World Report's 2022-23 Best Graduate Schools list. The combination of US News & World Report rankings positions NYU Langone as the nation's leading academic health system dedicated to patient care, education and research.

NYU Langone has also received a top “A” safety rating from Leapfrog and a five-star rating from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) for quality, safety and patient experience. Recently, NYU Langone Hospital—Brooklyn received Magnet® recognition for excellence in nursing from the American Nurses Credentialing Center. Now, all NYU Langone inpatient facilities have this prestigious designation, considered the gold standard for nursing care.
