Source: Leapfrog Hospital Safety Grade
Half of all Virginia acute-care hospitals scored a “safety rating” of A, the fourth highest percentage of the 50 states, according to the latest Leapfrog Hospital Safety Grade rating.
Leapfrog bases the rating on 27 performance measures, some developed by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) and some from supplemental data sources. These include process measures such as, how long it takes staff members to respond when patients ask for help; structural measures, such as whether hospitals use computerized systems to prevent errors in administering medications; and outcome measures, such as how often surgeons leave foreign objects like sponges or tools in a patient’s body.
The survey encompasses 2,700 hospitals nationally. Massachusetts sets the national standard in 2021, with 58.6% of hospitals scoring A. North and South Dakota hit bottom with zero hospitals making the grade.
