Methodology

For the latest report, Leapfrog assigned “A” to “F” letter grades to nearly 3,000 general acute-care hospitals based on 22 evidence-based measures of patient safety, including data from CMS Medicare PSI 90 Patient Safety and Adverse Events composite.

The ratings, which are updated twice a year, do not cover facilities such as military or VA hospitals, critical access hospitals, specialty hospitals, children’s hospitals, or outpatient surgery centers because of missing data.
