At ApolloMD, our commitment to providing the highest quality patient care stands as a foremost priority to our clinical teams, executive leadership, and hospital partners. Continued collaboration among these professionals helps ensure a positive patient experience and superior health outcomes, including outstanding distinctions noted by industry monitors such as The Leapfrog Group.
Twice a year, The Leapfrog Group reports their esteemed safety grades for health care facilities across the country. Founded by health care experts, this not-for-profit organization functions as an independent advocate focused on public access to accurate information reflecting the quality and safety of national hospitals. With data collected through free, voluntary initiatives, the Leapfrog Hospital Survey measures performance in a trusted format offering an evidence-based tool that promotes transparency by assigning a letter grade to thousands of general acute-care hospitals.
The Leapfrog Hospital Safety Grade presents a trusted benchmark by incorporating data points from their survey along with assessment based on the performance standards from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS). The peer-reviewed, expert-developed scoring methodology serves to track patterns and outcomes that indicate the efficacy of patient protection from preventable medical errors including accidents, injuries and infections.
The 2022 report marks the 10th anniversary of the Leapfrog Hospital Safety Grade assessment, and ApolloMD applauds our hospital partners earning the A-level score for excellence in patient safety:
