AUSTIN, TX Several Austin area hospitals received top safety marks while others didn t quite measure up in The Leapfrog Group s annual spring safety grades released Thursday.
The nonprofit health care watchdog group grades hospitals twice a year, assigning letter grades from A to F based on each hospital s ability to protect patients from preventable errors, accidents, injuries and infections.
More than 2,700 general, acute-care U.S. hospitals were assessed for Leapfrog s Spring Safety Grades. Among those hospitals, 27 have achieved 19 consecutive A grades in every biannual grading cycle since Leapfrog launched the safety grades in spring 2012.
