Quality Management: Patient Safety
 

 

What do the results mean?

 

 

Fully implemented Leapfrog’s recommended quality and safety leap.

Good progress in implementing Leapfrog’s recommended quality and safety leap.

Good early stage effort in implementing Leapfrog’s recommended quality and safety leap.

Willing to report publicly; did not yet meet Leapfrog’s criteria for a good early stage effort.

Did not disclose this information.

Not Applicable - e.g. Pancreatic resection does not apply because hospital does not
perform pancreatic resections.

Not Targeted - Leapfrog members did not request the hospital’s response to these questions but the hospital has voluntarily participated in other sections of the survey. For rural hospitals, not all leaps apply. The Safe Practices Score (made up of 27 NQF-endorsed Safe Practices) is the first leap that applies to rural hospitals.

Hospital participates in other public reporting initiatives

This hospital has also submitted Leapfrog Hospital Insights data.

Please note: Hospitals voluntarily submitted the information presented on this site. Hospitals that implement Leapfrog's recommended safety practices have reported that their internal processes of care include safeguards that may decrease a patient's probability of being exposed to a preventable medical mistake. However, no specific representation is made, nor should be implied, with respect to any individual patient's potential outcome by having a procedure performed at these hospitals. A hospital's placement in a quartile does not convey whether its risk-adjusted mortality rate is statistically significantly different from (a) the statewide average or (b) the risk-adjusted mortality rate of any hospital in its quartile or any other quartile.

The results of the Leapfrog Hospital Quality and Safety Survey are made publicly available on The Leapfrog Group Web site to be viewed and to support making informed decisions about where to receive care. Any other use of these data can only be done via a licensing agreement with The Leapfrog Group.
