The Leapfrog Hospital Safety Grade rates hospitals on how safe they are for patients. The Safety Grade represents how well hospitals protect patients from errors, injuries, and infections. Developed under the guidance of an Expert Panel, the Leapfrog Hospital Safety Grade uses 30 measures of hospital safety data to assign A, B, C, D and F grades to more than 2,600 U.S. hospitals twice per year. It is calculated by top patient safety experts, peer-reviewed, fully transparent, and free to the public.
“We are thrilled to receive this recognition by The Leapfrog Group,” says Brenda Kuhn, Chief Quality Officer for Kettering Health Network. “All the hospitals in our network scored above average and rank among the safest hospitals in the nation. These grades demonstrate our continued success in providing quality care to our patients.”
