Johnson Memorial Health was one of 750 hospitals nationally awarded an ‘A’ for its efforts in protecting patients from harm and meeting the highest safety standards in the U.S.
The Leapfrog Hospital Safety Grades assigns an A, B, C, D or F grade to hospitals across the country based on their performance in preventing medical errors, infections and other harms among patients in their care.
Developed under the guidance of an Expert Panel, the Leapfrog Hospital Safety Grade uses 27 measures of publicly available hospital safety data to assign grades to approximately 2,500 U.S. hospitals twice per year. It is peer reviewed, fully transparent and free to the public.
