Certain “never-events,” healthcare-associated infections, staffing measures and other patient safety metrics have seen “significant” improvement over the past decade, the Leapfrog Group reported alongside its latest batch of hospital letter grades.
Over the course of the past decade, U.S. hospitals collectively improved patient safety measures such as medical errors and healthcare-associated infections, according to the Leapfrog Group, a hospital watchdog organization in its 10th year of tracking such events.
Alongside the release of its latest collection of hospital report cards, Leapfrog said it took a look back at its historical ratings and found “a consistent pattern of better performance” across 10 measures continuously reported by hospitals nationwide as far back as 2009.
