Gottlieb Memorial Hospital issued the following announcement on Nov. 19.
For the third time in a row, Gottlieb Memorial Hospital has received a Leapfrog Group Hospital Safety "A" grade for meeting the highest patient safety standards in the United States.
Gottlieb also received A grades in Leapfrog's spring 2018 and fall 2017 safety report cards.
The Hospital Safety Grade scores hospitals on how safe they keep patients from errors, injuries, accidents and infections. It uses national performance measures to produce a single letter grade representing a hospital's overall performance in keeping patients safe from preventable harm and medical errors.
The safety grade includes 28 measures of publicly available hospital safety data. Every year in the spring and fall, each hospital receives an A, B, C, D or F patient safety grade. The methodology is peer-reviewed and fully transparent, and results are free to the public.
"We are pleased to once again receive Leapfrog's highest grade," said Lori Price, FACHE, MSA, RN, president of Gottlieb Memorial Hospital. "We will continue our comprehensive efforts to provide our patients with the safest possible environment. Our goal is to do zero harm to patients."
