CARROLLWOOD, Fla. - AdventHealth Carrollwood has once again earned an “A” Hospital Safety Grade from The Leapfrog Group, a national nonprofit watchdog focused on patient safety. Leapfrog assigns an “A,” “B,” “C,” “D” or “F” grade to general hospitals across the country based on over 30 performance measures reflecting errors, accidents, injuries and infections, as well as the systems hospitals have in place to prevent them.
"AdventHealth Carrollwood is committed to providing safe and effective health care in an environment that prioritizes our patient's experience,” said Joe Johnson, President and CEO of AdventHealth Carrollwood. “Receiving an 'A' Safety Grade from The Leapfrog Group goes to the very heart of expressing our mission and demonstrates the dedication of our clinical teams to providing wholistic care for our community.”
The Leapfrog Hospital Safety Grade stands as the only hospital ratings program focused solely on preventable medical errors, infections and injuries that kill more than 500 patients a day in the United States. This program is peer-reviewed, fully transparent and free to the public. Grades are updated twice annually, in the fall and spring.
“Achieving an ‘A’ Hospital Safety Grade is a significant accomplishment for AdventHealth Carrollwood,” said Leah Binder, president and CEO of The Leapfrog Group. “It reflects enormous dedication to your patients and their families, and your whole community should be proud. I extend my congratulations to AdventHealth Carrollwood, its leadership, clinicians, staff and volunteers for their tireless efforts to put patients first.”
