Rose Medical Center Continues to Earn Straight A's from The Leapfrog Group
Rose Medical Center in Denver, Colorado, is one of 63 hospitals nationwide to receive straight A's from The Leapfrog Group since the program began.
Denver, CO, April 24, 2017 --(PR.com)-- The Leapfrog Group, the nation’s leading nonprofit watchdog on hospital quality and safety, today announced new Leapfrog Hospital Safety Grades and Rose Medical Center once again earned an “A.” Rose Medical Center has achieved straight A’s since the inception of the Safety Grade in 2012, and is one of only 63 hospitals nationwide to attain this honor.
“We are so proud to have earned Straight A’s from The Leapfrog Group,” says Kenneth Feiler, president and CEO of Rose Medical Center. “This continued recognition reflects our entire team’s commitment to safety and patient quality for every Rose patient.”
“Straight ‘A’ hospitals are a rare breed. Not only do they achieve the highest national standards for safety, but they consistently maintain that level of excellence,” said Leah Binder, President and CEO of The Leapfrog Group. “That means that they put the well-being of their patients first, every hour of every day, year after year. We are proud to recognize that that tireless commitment.”
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, peer-reviewed, fully transparent and free to the public.
