New York State Team
New York hospitals received mixed safety grades from a consumer watchdog group that analyzed conditions just before the COVID-19 pandemic struck last spring.
Only 16 hospitals statewide, or 10.7%, received the highest A safety grade from Leapfrog, a Washington, DC-based nonprofit, while 30 hospitals received the second-lowest D grade. Just one, New York Community Hospital in Brooklyn, received an F.
The review looked at a variety of serious health-related issues, including data related to infectious disease prevention metrics considered crucial to limiting the spread of coronavirus.
“Seeing how well hospitals are doing on infection prevention, in general, may indicate how well they were able to control the spread of COVID inside their facility,” said Erica Mobley, vice president of administration at Leapfrog.
