11/15/2024
New grade for fall 2024 is a national recognition for commitment to patient safety
Dupont Hospital earned an “A” Hospital Safety Grade from The Leapfrog Group, an independent national nonprofit watchdog focused on patient safety. Leapfrog assigns an “A,” “B,” “C,” “D” or “F” grade to general hospitals across the country based on over 30 performance measures reflecting errors, accidents, injuries and infections, as well as the systems hospitals have in place to prevent them.
“We want every patient to have a positive experience at Dupont Hospital. It is rewarding to receive an “A” safety grade from the Leapfrog Group because our medical staff and employees are steadfast in delivering quality compassionate care to every patient, every time in a safe environment of care,” said Brent Parsons, CEO of Dupont Hospital.
“Achieving an ‘A’ Hospital Safety Grade is a significant accomplishment for Dupont Hospital,” said Leah Binder, president and CEO of The Leapfrog Group. “It reflects enormous dedication to your patients and their families, and your whole community should be proud. I extend my congratulations to Dupont Hospital, its leadership, clinicians, staff and volunteers for their tireless efforts to put patients first.”
The Leapfrog Hospital Safety Grade stands as the only hospital ratings program focused solely on preventable medical errors, infections and injuries that kill more than 500 patients a day in the United States. This program is peer-reviewed, fully transparent and free to the public. Grades are updated twice annually, in the fall and spring.
