TL;DR

The Leapfrog Group has released its spring safety grades, with 20 US hospitals receiving consecutive "A" safety grades since 2012. The safety grades evaluate hospitals' performance on up to 22 patient safety measures from CMS, the Leapfrog Hospital survey and other supplemental sources. The safety grades are the only hospital ratings program solely based on hospitals' ability to protect patients from preventable errors, accidents, injuries and infections.
