GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. — The Leapfrog Group has awarded an “A” rating to Trinity Health’s Grand Rapids hospital for patient safety.
We’re told the Leapfrog Group is a national watchdog organization that grades U.S. hospitals based on 30 factors impacting patient safety, including accidents, errors, infections and injuries.
“Receiving an A grade from Leapfrog is a tremendous achievement and a great assurance to the Grand Rapids community that patient safety standards inside our hospital are second to none,” says Matt Biersack, M.D. “I am so grateful to all our colleagues and medical staff for continuing to deliver safe, high-quality health care.”
The healthcare provider explains the Hospital Safety Grade is the only ratings program of its kind that focuses mainly on errors made toward patients. It is peer reviewed and made publicly available.
