NYU Langone Health remains the No. 1 comprehensive academic medical center in the country, according to Vizient, Inc., the leading healthcare performance improvement organization that placed NYU Langone at the top of its list for the third consecutive year. The Vizient rankings evaluate performance on the quality of patient care with a focus on safety, mortality, effectiveness, efficiency, patient satisfaction, and equity. Vizient counts among its membership 97 percent of academic medical centers in the United States.

“Recognitions like this further validate the quality that NYU Langone consistently delivers to everyone in our care,” said Robert I. Grossman, MD, CEO of NYU Langone Health and dean of NYU Grossman School of Medicine. “This ranking reflects our team’s commitment to excellence and seizing every opportunity to make a difference in the lives of the patients and families we serve.”

In addition to the recognition of inpatient locations in Manhattan, Vizient ranked NYU Langone’s ambulatory network and NYU Langone—Long Island and NYU Langone Hospital—Brooklyn as among the best in the nation.

“Every moment of patient care, from walking through our doors to discharge, is crucial to us,” said Fritz François, MD, executive vice president and vice dean, chief of hospital operations. “Our network is positioned to ensure an outstanding patient experience, no matter where care is accessed within our system,” he added during his keynote address at the Vizient summit in Las Vegas on Monday.

NYU Langone has consistently received recognition for its exceptional quality and safety metrics from various rating agencies. U.S. News & World Report has repeatedly named NYU Langone to its honor roll of the nation’s top 20 hospitals. Recently, all 13 of the institution’s clinical specialties were ranked in the top 20 nationally, with 9 of those in the top 5. NYU Langone hospitals have earned an “A” on every Leapfrog Hospital Safety Grade since fall 2020 and received five stars from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services for quality, safety, and patient experience. Additionally, all NYU Langone inpatient facilities have achieved Magnet® recognition for excellence in nursing from the American Nurses Credentialing Center, which is considered the gold standard in nursing.

NYU Langone Health is a world-class, patient-centered, integrated academic medical center, with a culture rooted in excellence in patient care, education, and research. NYU Langone offers a comprehensive range of medical services across 6 inpatient locations, its Perlmutter Cancer Center, and more than 300 outpatient locations across the New York area and Florida. The system also includes two medical schools, in Manhattan and on Long Island, and a vast research enterprise.
