Quality

Lovelace Regional Hospital's strategic plan includes a focus on Quality in order to achieve the best healthcare outcomes for our patients. One of the goals under this strategic plan is to reduce Hospital Acquired Infections such as CAUTI (Catheter Associated Urinary Tract infections). These goals are established year-over-year to achieve our ultimate goal of zero Hospital Acquired Infections. In 2020, we achieved a 33% reduction in our CAUTI incidence compared to 2019.

Additionally, we have achieved a 43% improvement for our ED patients seen in 30 minutes or less compared to 2019.
