New Mexico hospitals are committed to sharing information about the quality and safety of the health care services that they deliver in their communities. NMCheckPoint provides reliable data for decision making by consumers, purchasers and health care providers. For an overview of NMCheckPoint, go to NMCheckPoint Overview.                       


CheckPoint does:
  1. Help New Mexico citizens learn more about health care.
  2. Make evidence-based health information publicly available and understandable.
  3. Assist hospitals in continuously improving their performance, and, thereby, improving the overall quality of care provided to New Mexico citizens.
  4. Provide information that employers and insurers can use as they design benefit packages.

CheckPoint does not:

  1. Provide a full-picture of the overall health care picture in New Mexico. CheckPoint is one source; many others are also available and should be consulted before drawing conclusions about the care at any one hospital.
  2. Take the place of conversations between the patient and provider. The importance of communicating with the physician, nurses and other members of the health care team cannot be understated.
  3. Remain static. The data is refreshed at least every six months, and as hospitals continuously improve the quality and safety of their care, it is expected that the data will change.
