"This new update of Hospital Safety Grades shows that, at the national level, we saw deterioration in patient safety with the pandemic," said Leah Binder, president and CEO of The Leapfrog Group. Grades are based on over 30 national performance measures reflecting errors, accidents, injuries and infections, as well as systems hospitals have in place to prevent harm. The Leapfrog Group, an independent non-profit national watchdog organization focused on upholding patient safety, assigns an "A," "B," "C," "D" or "F" grade to general hospitals across the country. "This safety grade is a testament to the collaborative efforts of our nurses, physicians and all the team members at both our hospitals for their commitment to excellence and protecting patients from preventable harm." "Safety and quality is at the heart of everything we do at El Camino Health," said Dan Woods, CEO of El Camino Health. El Camino Health (PRNewsfoto/El Camino Health)
