The hospital a patient chooses for care can literally be a life-or-death decision. Over 500 people die every single day in the United States from errors in hospitals—many of which are fully preventable. Hospitals that do better on the Hospital Safety Grade have good systems in place to protect patients from errors, accidents, and infections.
Whether you are comparing hospitals in your community, evaluating maternity care services or reviewing outcomes for a specific procedure, Leapfrog’s ratings offer an independent, transparent view into how facilities are performing on the measures that matter most.
