Metrics and Performance  

At Rochester Regional Health, our dedication to quality is reflected in the teams we hire, the care we provide and the services we offer. This commitment to safe, reliable and high-quality care is also demonstrated through our regulatory compliance and accreditations, awards and recognition and participation in national conferences and journals. 

DNV Healthcare Accreditation

In 2020, Rochester Regional Health participated in 123 regulatory surveys in our acute care settings, outpatient settings and specialty programs from compliance agencies like DNV Healthcare, The Joint Commission and the Department of Health.

These surveys, often routine or planned to certify our specialty programs, look at our communication processes, governance, processes, standardization, safety precautions and outcomes.

In addition to Department of Health and Joint Commission program compliance, all of our hospitals are accredited by DNV Healthcare. This accreditation underscores our commitment to developing and continually improving quality and safety for employees, patients and visitors throughout our system.
