Newark Beth Israel Medical Center and Children's Hospital of New Jersey and Saint Michael's Medical Center both received an A for the fall 2020 patient safety report card from the Leapfrog Group.
Both Newark-based hospitals received As for the fifth consecutive period. University Hospital, which had received a D in the last report, was not graded by the independent national watchdog organization.
Leapfrog said University Hospital's responses to its hospital survey are undergoing Leapfrog’s standard data verification process. "As a result, the hospital was not graded this fall," a spokesman for the organization said.
