Two Midlands hospitals are above the rest when it comes to safety in new report card
Dec. 14 Two Midlands hospitals stand out in safety grades released by a medical watchdog group Monday.
Prisma Health Baptist Parkridge continues to be ranked as one of the safest hospitals in South Carolina, according to the Leapfrog Hospital Safety Grade.
Joining it is Lexington Medical Center, which was rated among the safest hospitals as well. The Columbia and Lexington hospitals received the highest grade from the Leapfrog Group, which issues biannual safety rankings.
Since 2012, the Leapfrog Group has published Hospital Safety Scores twice a year once in the spring and once during the fall to create transparency in the U.S. health system. The rating is focused on errors, accidents, injuries and infections.
