The Leapfrog Group honored four Baptist Memorial hospitals with an “A” Hospital Safety Grade to recognize their achievements in protecting patients from harm and error in the hospital. The Baptist hospitals that earned an “A” Leapfrog Hospital Safety Grade are Baptist Carroll County, Baptist Golden Triangle, Baptist Union County and NEA Baptist. Baptist Golden Triangle earned an “A” for the 11th year in a row. Congratulations to team members of these hospitals.
The Leapfrog Hospital Safety Grade is the only ratings program for hospitals that’s based exclusively on hospital prevention of medical errors and harms to patients. Grades are updated in the fall and spring. The new grades reflect performance primarily during the height of the pandemic.
The Leapfrog Group is an independent, national watchdog organization that assigns grades to general hospitals based on more than 30 performance measures reflecting errors, injuries, accidents and infections, as well as systems hospitals have in place to prevent harm.
