Sierra Vista Regional Medical Center received The Leapfrog Group’s top Safety Grade in the 2016 Fall release. The hospital is two of 844 hospitals to receive an “A”, ranking them among the safest hospitals in the United States. This is the eighth consecutive “A” for Sierra Vista.
“Sierra Vista is proud to again be recognized as an “A” hospital for patient safety by The Leapfrog Group, as a demonstration of our commitment to providing high-quality care,” said Sierra Vista CEO Joe DeSchryver.
“The staff are more than deserving of this high mark, as they are truly dedicated to helping our patients live happier, healthier lives.”
“We are focused on continually improving care delivery and patient satisfaction,” said Twin Cities CEO Mark Lisa. “Our clinical leadership regularly reviews our patient care processes and compares our data to nationally-recognized benchmarks and best practices. Nothing is more important to us than offering our patients trusted care in a safe environment.”
The Leapfrog Hospital Safety Grade uses 30 measures of publicly available hospital safety data to assign A, B, C, D and F grades to more than 2,600 U.S. hospitals twice per year. It is calculated by top patient safety experts, peer-reviewed, fully transparent and free to the public.
