Highlighting its nationally recognized achievements in patient safety and quality, AdventHealth Castle Rock has been named a top hospital by The Leapfrog Group. The Leapfrog Top Hospital award is widely acknowledged as one of the most competitive awards American hospitals can receive.
The top hospital designation is awarded by The Leapfrog Group, a national watchdog organization of employers recognized for setting the highest standards in healthcare quality and safety.
“Providing high quality, clinical care is the core of our business,” said AdventHealth Castle Rock President and CEO, Michelle Fuentes. “I want our community to know they can feel confident trusting us with their care and if we just happen to be one of the best in the nation, that is the cherry on top!”
Nearly 2,400 hospitals nationwide were evaluated for the award, with only 134 selected, placing AdventHealth Castle Rock among the top 94% of hospitals in the United States. Additionally, AdventHealth Castle Rock received an 'A' hospital safety grade from the Leapfrog Group in November.
“We take our responsibility to provide excellent care very seriously, and I am proud of our brilliant team for receiving this recognition in addition to the ‘A’ safety grade from the Leapfrog Group in November,” said Fuentes. “This is a major step toward becoming the preeminent faith based, consumer-focused hospital in the areas as we continue on our mission to extend Christ’s healing ministry.”
The quality of patient care across many areas of hospital performance is considered in establishing the qualifications for the award, including infection rates, practices for safer surgery, maternity care and the hospital’s capacity to prevent medication errors. The rigorous standards are defined in each year’s Top Hospital Methodology.
To qualify for the distinction, hospitals must rank top among peers on the Leapfrog Hospital Survey, which assesses hospital performance on the highest standards for quality and patient safety and achieve top performance in their category.
