PORT ST. JOE, FLA. (Nov. 1, 2016) -- New Leapfrog Hospital Safety Grades, which assign A, B, C, D and F letter grades to hospitals nationwide, were announced today by The Leapfrog Group, a national patient safety watchdog. Sacred Heart Hospital on the Gulf in Port St. Joe, FL and Sacred Heart Hospital on the Emerald Coast in Miramar Beach, FL were two of 844 hospitals to receive an “A”, ranking them both among the safest hospitals in the United States.
“We are honored to be recognized as one of the nation’s highest quality healthcare facilities,” said Roger Hall, president of Sacred Heart Hospital on the Emerald Coast. “We strive to provide excellent care in a safe, compassionate, healing environment.”
“Protecting patients from harm is the most important charge for any hospital,” said Leah Binder, president and CEO of The Leapfrog Group. “We recognize and appreciate ‘A’ hospitals’ vigilance and continued dedication to keeping their patients safe.”
Developed under the guidance of an Expert Panel, the Leapfrog Hospital Safety Grade uses 30 measures of publicly available hospital safety data to assign A, B, C, D and F grades to more than 2,600 U.S. hospitals twice per year. It is calculated by top patient safety experts.
