“These results reflect both commitment and compassion across Intermountain,” said Cara Camiolo, MD, chief quality and safety officer for Intermountain Health. “Earning an ‘A’ helps validate our caregivers’ efforts toward disciplined teamwork, transparency, and speaking up for safety every day. Whether a hospital achieved a Straight ‘A’ or made important progress this spring, each result represents caregivers doing the right things, for the right reasons, to create an ‘Always Safe’ culture.”
The Leapfrog Hospital Safety Grade evaluates hospitals on performance related to infections, medical errors, accidents, injuries, and the systems in place to prevent harm before it occurs. Hospitals receive a letter grade from A through F based on up to 22 national safety measures drawn from CMS data, the NHSN, and the Leapfrog Hospital Survey.
The Leapfrog Hospital Safety Grade methodology is peer reviewed and publicly available and has been published in the Journal of Patient Safety. Ratings are updated twice each year. To view the full list of hospitals and their Leapfrog grades, visit https://www.hospitalsafetygrade.org.
