🏥 Leap Frog Group Releases Hospital Safety Grades Report🏥 Congratulations to all the high-performing hospitals recognized by The Leapfrog Group in their latest Hospital Safety Grades report! 🌟 This spring's findings showcase significant improvements in patient experience and a remarkable drop in preventable health care-associated infections. Patient experience measures, including nurse and doctor communication, hospital staff responsiveness, and discharge information, have shown notable enhancements since the fall of 2023. These strides signify a step forward in delivering better care and ultimately saving lives. Utah leads the states for the second cycle in a row, while metro areas like Allentown, Winston-Salem, and New Orleans shine with the highest percentage of "A" hospitals. 🌟 The decrease in preventable infections, such as CLABSI, CAUTI, and MRSA, highlights the dedicated efforts of hospitals nationwide in ensuring patient safety. Despite these positive trends, it's crucial to acknowledge that patient safety remains a critical concern in healthcare. With patient safety problems ranking as the third leading cause of death in the US, continuous efforts are needed to protect patients from harm. We salute the commitment of hospitals in prioritizing patient safety and encourage everyone to stay informed about their hospital's Safety Grade.

More healthcare consumers need to pay attention to LeapFrog and here's 3 reasons why. 1. Leapfrog gathers a ton of data on hospitals quality and delivers that information so you can make wiser health care decisions. 2. Hospitals compete with each other for consumers "business" and they are all working towards top quality care, but not all can get there without the right mix of leadership, frontline talent, and modern technology to make it happen. Leapfrog shows you who is doing the best. 3. Patient safety should always be a top priority of yours as a consumer of healthcare. As it should be for the hospital too, but seeing a hospital with an F grading should leave you skeptical. Leapfrog delivers grades so you can assess quickly if the hospital near you. As I reviewed some hospitals on the A list in this Becker's article, I recalled seeing one of our partners receive A grade from Leapfrog that they highlighted on their Linkedin page. One reason for their A grade, I suspect, is that they prioritized getting experienced international staff which no doubt impacted patient quality and teamwork. Have you looked at the Leapfrog grade of hospitals near your home? https://lnkd.in/dv55pfqK
