CALNOC, is the leading provider of Actionable information and research on Nursing Excellence.

Always on the forefront of patient care excellence, CALNOC created the first nursing database registry of nursing sensitive indicators over 23 years ago which turned patient outcome data into powerful information for hospital executives to help guide decisions to advance global patient care. 

In March of 2019 Press Ganey acquired the CALNOC database of nurse sensitive indicators. As a result, CALNOC has found a steward to take the database and nurse sensitive indicator development to the next level. We are especially proud knowing that the work in Ambulatory Care will be accelerated and enhanced by the resources and commitment Press Ganey has made to Nursing.

Today, CALNOC is pleased to continue its work of advancing patient care excellence through the CALNOC Research Fund. This innovative and much needed effort will provide grants and scholarships to individuals, systems and facilities promoting and continuing to provide evidence-based practice on Patient Safety and Quality. We started 23 years ago as a scientific and research organization and this opportunity has allowed us to return to our roots and mission.

CALNOC is a non-profit corporation with headquarters in Walnut Creek, California.
