MICHIGAN, USA — A new report from The Leapfrog Group, an independent nonprofit organization that reviews hospital patient safety, says that Michigan has the fifth safest hospitals in the nation.
The report from The Leapfrog Group is released twice a year and ranks hospitals with a letter grade between A and F. The report uses more than 30 national performance measures from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services to determine a hospital’s overall performance in keeping patients safe from preventable harm and medical errors.
The group reviewed 81 Michigan hospitals and graded 41 of them an "A" in patient safety. With over 50% of the hospitals in the state receiving an "A," Michigan ranked 5th among other states in overall patient safety.
22 more hospitals in the state received a "B" grade, 17 were given a "C" and one hospital, Hurley Hospital in Flint, was graded a "D" in patient safety.
The only other states that had a higher ranking in patient safety were North Carolina, Virginia, Utah and Colorado.
