Tampa, FL (PRWEB) November 03, 2016 -- Florida Hospital, an Adventist Health System facility, has again been recognized by Leapfrog Hospital Safety Grade for achieving superior rankings on safety. The Leapfrog grading scale provides the most comprehensive picture of patient safety in the U.S. health care industry. Developed under the guidance of Leapfrog’s Blue Ribbon Expert Panel, the Hospital Safety Score uses 30 measures of publicly available hospital safety data to assign A, B, C, D, and F grades to more than 2,500 U.S. hospitals nationally, twice per year.

Hospitals that earn an A from Leapfrog are leaders that are saving lives

The score is calculated by top patient safety experts, peer-reviewed, fully transparent and free to the public. The Hospital Safety Score includes five measures of patient-reported experience with the hospital as well as two of the most common infections: C. diff and MRSA.

“I am incredibly proud of our team here at Florida Hospital Carrollwood, and the continued efforts our entire staff has made to enhance and improve upon our already strong focus on a safe environment for our patients and employees,” said Joe Johnson, President and CEO. “This focus on patient safety makes a difference in the environment for our visitors, staff and physicians, and ensures that in turn our patients and their loved ones experience a safe and secure hospital stay.”

Florida Hospital Carrollwood, Florida Hospital North Pinellas and Florida Hospital Wesley Chapel earned an ‘A’ grade for patient safety in the Fall 2016 hospital safety score, which puts them among some of the safest hospitals in the United States. High scores are awarded to hospitals based off of a multitude of performance objectives that are observed by Leapfrog throughout the year and reflect just how safe each establishment is.

“Florida Hospital North Pinellas is proud to receive an “A” grade in patient safety from the Leapfrog Group for the seventh consecutive semester,” said Tricia Williams, Florida Hospital North Pinellas President and CEO. “Maintaining the best grade for three and a half years confirms our staff’s dedication to providing our patients with the highest level of quality care.”

“Florida Hospital Wesley Chapel is dedicated to providing our patients with the highest level of care. This A safety rating from Leapfrog is a reflection of the dedication of our team to delivering that quality care every day,” said Denyse Bales-Chubb, President and CEO of Florida Hospital Wesley Chapel.

"Avoidable deaths in hospitals should be the number one concern of our health care leaders. Hospitals that earn an ‘A’ from Leapfrog are leaders in saving lives, and we commend them and urge their continued vigilance,” said Leah Binder, President and CEO of The Leapfrog Group.
